After 17 years of active service in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army recruiter Staff Sgt. Romeo Igisomar was promoted to sergeant first class yesterday morning in a ceremony held at the Laly 4 Beach in Chalan Kanoa, where Igisomar had grown up. <\/p>\n

Igisomar later said his promotion feels rewarding and gives him a sense of accomplishment for all the hard work he\u2019s done through the years.<\/p>\n

Igisomar recounts that he was studying at the Northern Marianas College when he was inspired to join the Army after learning about the educational benefits it offered at the time.<\/p>\n

Igisomar originally wanted to work in the courtroom, whether as a lawyer or a paralegal. He liked the idea of working in that environment and didn\u2019t imagine he would join the U.S. Army. But then, Igisomar said he was able to experience working as a paralegal for several years while in the Army and is thankful to have that opportunity. <\/p>\n

After many years of active service, Igisomar returned to the CNMI to become a recruiter, with a mission to share with the community what the Army can offer and to inspire others. \u201cI went out there and did it, and you can do it too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Igisomar\u2019s wife and three sons keep him determined to reach his goals. He said his promotion is something he truly worked hard for. <\/p>\n

There are certain requirements and service procedures that must be met in order to be promoted to any rank and it takes a lot of time and effort, he added. (Neil Fama)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
