“Sergeant places first in paralegal contest”

Congratulations to Rosemary Hernandez!

"A sergeant bested 22 other Army paralegals from XVIII Airborne Corps and Army Special Operations Command in competition Thursday at Fort Bragg, N.C.

"Sgt. Rosemary Hernandez placed first in the Command Sgt. Maj. Cornell Gilmore paralegal challenge, according to results released by Master Sgt. Joseph Lister, one of the event’s organizers.

"The event is named for Gilmore who was the top enlisted legal adviser in the Judge Advocate General Corps when he died in Iraq in late 2003. He had held the position since June 2002. He was one of six aboard a Black Hawk helicopter on Nov. 7 when it was struck by enemy fire. The helicopter crashed near Tikrit and none of the occupants survived."
