An official change of responsibility ceremony in which 1st Sgt. Jason D. Hasby assumed the duties of Headquarters and Headquarters Company first sergeant from 1st Sgt. Wayne M. Butterbrodt took place April 2.
An 18-year Army veteran, Hasby's assignments include Fort Knox, Kentucky, Fort Lewis, Washington, and now, Fort Riley.
Butterbrodt is scheduled for a permanent change of station to Fort Hood, Texas, where he said he looks forward to spending more time with his family.
Hasby said he brings with him a phrase he learned from his sergeant major upon his return from Army Leaders Course. Hasby said his sergeant major told him he needed to do it all. If something needs done, do it.
"Whatever tools they give me to accomplish that mission, regardless [of what the mission is,] I will accomplish that mission," Hasby said.
As for advice from Butterbrodt to Hasby, he kept it short.
"Enjoy the time because it will go by fast," he said.
