The Marine Corps said farewell to its top-enlisted leader and ushered in another. At the Sargent Major, the Marine Corps relief and appointment ceremony at Marine Barracks, Washington. Outgoing Sargent Major, the Marine Corps Carlton Kent retired just weeks shy of 36 years of service. And I believe that the Marine Corps will assist the prize, assist the flag on, that the Marine Corps is a great statement for the next 20-some years because the Great Marines deserve to death. On a humid evening at the Corps's oldest post, the Commodont passed on the enlisted reins to Sargent Major Michael Barrett, who asks Marines to keep their focus during the nation's ongoing conflicts. Continue to serve, continue to be selfless and everything that you do, continue to do brave deeds and endure. We've got tough times ahead of us and we're going to need you. Barrett takes over as a 17th Sargent Major of the Marine Corps. From Washington, I'm Sargent Todd Hunter.
