PFC Sarsfield is someone that I have had my eye on ever since he transferred into my platoon. He’s always been an enthusiastic guy. He really seemed to always keep a positive attitude, and to get after and get good at whatever his role at that time may have been. During his time as a grenadier he really picked up on the FP1S3 tradition of splattering people against walls with HE, and he really dedicated himself to the AIT. That wasn’t enough for Sarsfield though. Shortly after that got involved with lighthouse and eventually made his way into leadership, while carrying that same enthusiasm to get good. Well, get good he has. PFC Sarsfield, while a little headstrong and maybe too enthusiastic sometimes has had a pretty stellar run as far as SLT candidates go in my opinion. He really put the effort into learning from the NCO’s around him and to put the time in on his own to practice and guest and develop himself and his skills. I must say that it’s been a pleasure seeing Sarsfield learn and grow throughout his time in SLT, as he’s successfully taken on each task and lesson and even the ASL spot of S1. For that I think it’s high time he be done with SLT and be awarded his NCO Development Ribbon and a promotion to the rank of Corporal. Congratulations Cpl. Sarsfield.
