While we were at Fort Polk, Kevin was invited to attend a Change of Responsibility between two First Sergeants. One was relinquishing responsibility (1SG Stephens) of the 272nd Military Police Company and the other (MSG Gipson) was assuming responsibility as the 1SG.
There was something special about this Change of Responsibility special for Kevin. MSG Gipson was one of Kevin's young soldiers years & years ago; Kevin was his Platoon Sergeant ten years ago.
Below: The Change of Responsibility taking place.
Then, MSG Gipson, is pictured on the left, and 1SG Stephen is on the right.

Done deal!
...and so they march away.
