Reynolds promoted to Army Warrant Officer

Christopher L. Reynolds graduated from the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker, Daleville, Ala., and was appointed to the rank of warrant officer one.

The student completed an intense six-week course conducted in a very demanding, rigorous, high-stressed, and deadline-required environment. The candidate received training in leadership skills, Army customs, doctrine, tradition, and tactics, drill and ceremonies, professional ethics, physical fitness, time-stress-people management skills, decision making, delegation and personnel skills, and numerous other military academic subjects. Students gain experience in leadership to attain higher responsibility while maintaining professionalism and quality work performance and standards required of career warrant officers.

Warrant officers continue to further their training through technical and tactical certification. As the officers gain progressive levels of expertise and leadership, they operate, maintain, administer and manage equipment, support activities or technical systems throughout their Army career.

Reynolds, a health services technician, is assigned to the 264th Medical Battalion at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, Texas. He has 12 years of military service.

He is the grandson of Barbara A. Reynolds of County Road 360, Fairfield, Texas, and Gladys Hill of Esther Ave., Pasadena, Texas.

In 1998, Reynolds graduated from Fairfield High School, and received an associate degree in 2009 from Central Texas College, Killeen.
