Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chris Hackney inspects

Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chris Hackney inspects a "swiss seat" rappelling rig on a ROTC cadet from North Carolina State University at a field training exercise here, April 13. Hackney and other members of the North Carolina National Guard’s Recruiting and Retention Battalion took part in the training in order to provide general information about the N.C. Guard and the benefits of joining the organization. The training consisted of rappelling, a confidence and obstacle course, land navigation and other basic soldier skills. “These opportunities give us the ability to access the cadets from the beginning of ROTC and follow them through their ROTC career,” said Hackney.
