Chief Warrant Officer 5 Daniel Villarreal, the outgoing CCWO, transferred his position and responsibilities to Chief Warrant Officer 4 (P) Mark Parr, the incoming CCWO.
The CCWO provides the command team with all-encompassing expertise on warrant officers and oversees the training, placement and managing 25 different warrant officer specialties within the 8th TSC.

With this coming at the end of an illustrious 29 year career, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Villarreal reminded the many attending Warrant officers from across Oahu to be the most professional soldier in their formations. Warrant officers are a positive role model and should take every opportunity to teach, coach, and mentor all who seek your guidance: Soldiers, NCOs, officers, and warrant officers alike.

Just finished this Command Performance outfit for the new integrity Jem. The bodice is PVC and the skirt is made up of three layers: metallic spandex on the bottom, sheer shiny nylon in the middle and light purple tulle on the top. Her bow attaches to her head with a clear elastic band and her jewelry is handmade with glass beads. I re-used the tights from her starlight outfit. Really pleased with how this turned out! I think I`ll make the turquoise version next. Going to be hard to find fishnet material in that color though...
