🎉 Congratulations to The United States Army Drill Sergeant Hall of Fame Class 13 🎉

September 15th, 2026:

The US Army Drill Sergeant Association partnered with @ausa_nco_soldier_programs & @ausaorg to host the Drill Sergeant Hall of Fame Induction, in conjunction with the @us_army_recruiting_command 2026 Drill Sergeant of the Year Competition.

Four of this year's inductees were able to attend SGM Rivera, CSM Chan'nel Black, CSM (R.) John Harris, and SFC (R.) Mike Menapace, with a special guest, LTC (R.) Harold Nobles on behalf of CPT (R.) Derrill Young & 1SG (R.) Joseph Rush, who couldn't be with us.

The latter three all being original instructors whose efforts the Drill Sergeant Program was born of.

We also unvieled the portraits of SGM (R.) Janina Simmons and MSG (R.) Regina Norris, who also couldn't make it this evening.

Congratulations to all inductees and a huge thank you to all of the supporters who came together to make this an incredible night and experience.

Little mile run with the fam today. While the boys stuck wi the Dami at his pace, my girl stuck with me running at mine. After not running for a while I thought today was going to be tough and dreadful. It was quite the opposite, in fact. I felt great, revitalized… still a “slow runner”, and that will take time. But I’m feeling very empowered after that.

I tried out some new shoes that I ended up not liking at all… so I was thankful it was a short run. These shoes changed my gait and made my feet pronate as I ran, so I’ll be exchanging those soon. As of right now, my go-tos are looking like @asics gel nimbus 28.

We had the opportunity to go to work with Dami and help build a fence for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Marin County. It was awesome volunteering alongside the kids and watching them get hands-on experience giving back to their community. Fun fact, Dami also helped build that very ADU… 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Today we honor and remember SFC Brandon K. Hickey.

A Soldier. A Drill Sergeant. A leader whose legacy lives on through every Soldier he trained, mentored, and inspired.

12 SEP 1991 – 19 MAY 2026
Drill Sergeant Hall of Fame
“Til The End”

His words say it best:
“The legacy is the Soldiers who are going to speak on our behalf moving forward.”

That legacy will continue through the lives he impacted, the standards he upheld, and the Soldiers who carry his lessons forward.

Never forgotten. Always honored.
Honor • Sacrifice • Legacy
