Alumnus Holloway earns Army promotion
Article By: Clark Leonard
University of North Georgia (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) alumnus Lt. Col. Kevin D. Holloway, '07, was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. Fellow alumnus Lt. Gen. James B. Jarrard, '88, led the promotion ceremony for Holloway. Jarrard is the deputy commanding general of U.S. Army Pacific.
"It is always exciting for me to be a part of promotion ceremonies as it provides an opportunity for me to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our great soldiers, non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and officers who have dedicated their professional careers to something bigger than themselves and to thank them and their families for all their sacrifices to that end," Jarrard said. "It also provides me a time of reflection for me and my career and my promotions — and how much 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 helped me with so many valuable experiences that helped me develop at a young age. I'm so proud of Kevin, his wife Lucie, and all of the great leaders 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 continues to produce each year."
Holloway, who earned a bachelor's degree in finance at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, is a space operations officer assigned to the U.S. Army Pacific Theater Fires Element. Holloway also married his college sweetheart, Lucie, who earned a bachelor's degree in exercise science.
"With this promotion, I look forward to continuing to serve soldiers and their families in a higher capacity through increased responsibility, leadership and command. It also allows me the opportunity to share personal insights and experiences to a larger audience of current and future soldiers, NCOs and officers," Holloway said. "Additionally, this promotion to lieutenant colonel allows a little more access to Army senior leaders, creating additional opportunities to better understand how the Army operates in support of the joint force."
One of six federally designated senior military colleges, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 is the Military College of Georgia and commissions about 100 second lieutenants each year for the Army, Georgia Army National Guard and Army Reserve. More than 60 alumni have gone on to become flag officers.
