WIESBADEN, Germany -- The 66th Military Intelligence Brigade hosted a career fair here Feb. 14 to showcase career paths available to brigade Soldiers.
The brigade, an Army Intelligence and Security Command unit that supports USAREUR, conducts the events quarterly to educate its members about career options available to them while in uniform. The fair was open to all Soldiers, but this month's event emphasized options for female enlisted Soldiers who have not yet pinned on sergeant's stripes.
Sgt. Maj. Tammy Everette, NCO-in-charge of the fair, said the program provided an opportunity for young female Soldiers to interact with women in other Army career fields to learn more about the options available to them.
The fair included 12 booths from Army organizations and career fields such as the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, counterintelligence, and warrant officer candidate and flight training. Female Soldiers helped staff most of the booths, to share personal experiences and knowledge of their fields.
Master Sgt. Rebekah Skobba of the 66th took part in the fair as the subject-matter expert in counterintelligence. Skobba said her role in the event was to help provide information to Soldiers who might not be aware of all the career options available to them.
Command Sgt. Maj. David S. Davenport, USAREUR's senior enlisted advisor, was the key speaker at the event. Davenport's remarks emphasized the importance of leadership. He told fair participants he believes the future of the Army will be in good hands because of their leadership, and encouraged them to mentor their fellow Soldiers.
Lt. Col. April Skou, the officer-in-charge for the event, echoed that sentiment, saying that encouraging mentorship while providing an opportunity for Soldiers to learn about available programs were the career fair's primary goals.
