Hall encouraged soldiers to ask him questions about subjects that interested them. When soldiers inquired about recruitment issues, the SMA stressed recruiting messages should be geared toward the younger generation of recruits between ages 17-19. According to Hall, there are approximately 200 recruiter corporals in the field now. The program has a lot of potential. Hall also spoke to soldiers about possible changes in the Army, with the approach of the new millennium.
Soldiers can expect to see new equipment including better digital equipment.
According to Hall, even with all the changes the Army is facing, the basic noncommissioned officer values should not change. Hall spoke with soldiers stationed at outposts around Camp Monteith. He visited a house that now serves as tactical operations center in Gornji Livoc, Kosovo, and observed the medical civilian aide program in action in Kmetovce, Kosovo. I think soldiers are proud of what they are doing.
