Sgt. Vannessa Tyson, a supply sergeant, assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion 7th Air Defense Artillery, walks through an arch signifying her entry into the noncommissioned officers corps during a formal NCO induction ceremony on Smith Barracks, Germany July 27. As part of tradition, three candles were lit during the ceremony--red for valor of the NCO and the blood that has been shed in defense of the nation; white for purity, honesty and integrity of the NCO and blue for the field of honor.
