Reddit post leads to top Army leaders crashing soldier’s reenlistment

When Staff Sgt. Dylan Kunze decided he would indefinitely reenlist into the Army, he took to social media in January to see if he could make this reenlistment a special moment. And what better way to do that than to get two of the Army’s most senior leaders, on the enlisted and officer side, to participate in the ceremony?

Kunze, who has been in the Army for 10 years and now serves with the 30th Air Defense Artillery Brigade out at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, wondered “what are the odds” that he could get Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George as his reenlisting officer and Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston to hold the flag at the ceremony. He worried, though, that it was too late to get him on the books for the ceremony.
