2010-2011 Year In Review
Fellow Warrants & Friends
The USAWOA FHSC has conducted lots of activities and have been extremely busy this last year. We have conducted almost 1000 hours in community service as we volunteered at the Second Chance Animal Shelter, “Don’t Mess with Texas” Campaign, Retirement Home Bingo Day, and various mentorship programs and break out sessions. We have re-aligned our focus and adopted a new Mantra “Networking for a Better Us”, which captures the idea that as a community, we learn, share and gain the knowledge and experience to achieve an indestructible bond of professionalism.
Over the past 12 months, our activates included;
The Second Chance Animal Shelter
“Don’t Mess With Texas” Campaign
Indian Oaks Retirement Home BINGO Day
Community Give back – Kempner Texas Town Donation
Membership Drive / Regiment Chief Warrant Officer Visit

I believe in the Army Warrant Officer. I believe in the pride and tradition the tittle Warrant Officer holds. I believe the future of the Warrant Officer is depending on the interaction and guidance from those that walk the grounds today. We will develop a generation that respects the tradition and honor the rank and in turn receive that same recognition from those whom walk amongst us. I believe that we learn as we teach and we create Soldiers that will uphold all that a Warrant Officer has come to be.
My daily mission is to Soldier, and I am proud to Soldier as a Warrant Officer.
