We reached our goal! Thank you for supporting the 1st Infantry Division. Duty First!
Now that’s what a CSM should look like.
Congratulations on your retirement and career.
He was my DI too at Eustis. Tremendous leader. Showed me how to be a soldier. May God bless your journey ahead CSM! Our country was blessed to have you.
Thank you for your Service I am a ret to 27 years
We all served and we all know we never see those days again just memories,thank you for your service C S M !
I was in the 1st Infantry Division in peaceful Germany in the early seventies. Dear ole' Dad was in the second wave at Omaha Beach. He was an MP. He spent the "Longest Day" going up and down the beach leading soldiers to the right draws to rejoin their units. I think he'd have been honored to meet a "Big Red One" alumni like yourself to congratulate you on thirty years of patriotic service. Well done Sargent Major. Good luck in your retirement. You'll do well, for sure.
After Vietnam the 1st ID was stationed at Fort Riley, KS. I know because I was in both places back then with the 1st. Co. B 1/2. I was then stationed in Germany with the 3 ID. C company 1/15. Then back to Ft. Riley in early to mid seventies 74-76 when I was discharged. The only time the 1st was in Germany was the Re-Forger exercises we had for 1-2 months in the Fall. 1st ID was not stationed in Germany back then. The 3rd ID was and I was stationed there also with them.
Man he used to kick my butt at Fort Eustis. Someone I've always looked at as the best example of a leader. Never hesitate when the opportunity came to mentor your leaders. Your leadership will be truly missed.
Thank you for sharing your kind words! We're going to miss him too!
Have you any relatives in Emporia VA? My last name is Bailey also. thxs

BRAVO SGT.MAJOR!
Congratulations CSM. It's the best retirement multimedia story I have ever seen. Kudos to the 25V soldiers who produced this imagery. It sure beats the same old slide show career recap I often see at retirement ceremonies.
HELL YEAH!!!!!! Still looking good, DUDE!!!!!! Keep on grinding---WELCOME HOME, BROTHER!!!!!!!! 🫡🫡😓😓❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This guy is my HERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would love to shake his hand.
CSM (R), This is SSG Evans here. I was under you during your time at Fort Bragg as a CSM in 2-82. Damn.....The Army has lost a good one....I will never ever forget the meeting you had when you first got to the Battalion with all NCOs. You said "either you are on my team or you aren't on my team." If you aren't on my team and you wanna be out of the Army let me know now so we can help your process in the Army a little easier by sending you to Fort Coach." lololololo loved that and it always stuck with me. I ran with you a few times during PT. I was under 1SG Zerby now SGM Zerby...Great Leadership man. Will never forget your face even though I was transitioning away from the Unit to go Reserves. (Now an AGR Recruiter). Those small things have impacted my career. Take care and I wish you the best in your next career. Job well done CSM....job well done.
Thank you for your service sir 🪖🇺🇸

Thank you CSM! You are going to be in demand in the civilian employment market!

Respect SgtMaj! Welcome to the retire ranks. Speaking as a retired Naval Aircrewman, the only thing that you will miss, is flying. Every time that you see a helicopter fly above you, you will wish that you could be in it.
Outstanding Job!
Rock on my brother!

Thanks for your service, Sir!
Thank you Sir for your years of service and sacrifice. All the best.
I had orders after 68 whiskey school to go to the big red one I went to airborne school and they sent me to fourth brigade in Alaska I really wanted to be part of the first infantry division though I got out 09’ and never made the transition back to civilian life I wish you well sergeant major you’re the best that our country has congratulations
Congratulations CSM Serrano. Job well done fellow brother
Congratulations
very nice thanks
I mean because of his experience who could become a teacher or DOD employee where he is contributing somehow if he loves Blackhawks so much. But honestly I think it he may get the opportunity normally since the army will officially transition to the new Bell 280 Valor over several years.
Probably got a GS15 position lined up way before retirement.
Number 1 USA.🦅🇺🇲
Go Army
Such a great accomplishment you have done CSM Serrano. You would have made a great US Marine too but believe the Army treated you better! lol..... Semper Fidelis!
CSM make America Great Again?
Finish you military obligation. Return State Side and run for Governor. In the past it was veteran in office. Lets bring this culture back?
CSM of America 🇺🇸 needs men and women with experience. And you CSMs know.
I personally served with CSM TONG, CSM GREY, CSM WILLIAMS, CSM CHEESEBREW.
All great examples of professional American citizen soldiers.
We need more quality personel in office.
U.S. Marshalls to best place to deploy an old warrior like this!
Half of my 30 years in the army were spent on Marshall Army Airfield.
The V280, CSM... What's your opinion on it replacing the great work horse, and combat proven UH60? Atleast 2000 if them
For every dude that gets treated like this at retirement there are 500 that don't get shit except a $3.00 retirement award sent to their address of record 6 months after retirement.
Is that Garrison Cap regulation?
Sharp looking uniform except for the waist belt.
CSM is not a rank, it is a position. All that time on helos and yet never flown one......I would be pissed.

Thank you for your service sir, and God bless you
Those pinks and greens are so clean not quite as clean as the marines dress blues but close second
What does csm mean
I guess I’m t means colour sergeant major but what does this mean
Sure hope you slapped some sense into Auston and Miley after you left......
I'll bet he's happy to be retiring from this POS.
I know I'm glad to be retired from it. I'm almost at the point where I'm ashamed to have been in it. At least what it's become.
