<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThe twenty-ninth edition of The Gold Star Journal<\/em> is proudly dedicated to Sergeant Major Andrew L. Yagle<\/strong>, United States Marine Corps (Retired). After 31 years of selfless service to his nation in the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Yagle is an irreplaceable figure within the Commandant\u2019s Department, having now served the South Carolina Corps of Cadets (S.C.C.C.) for 11 years and counting as the college\u2019s Command Sergeant Major.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSergeant Major Yagle credits his experience as a drill instructor while a young Marine to the longevity and success of his military career. He has carried this with him here at The Citadel. Sergeant Major preaches that \u201ctraining another human being is one of the most important things you can ever do.\u201d This spirit of mentorship has left an indelible impact on the lives and careers of thousands of Citadel cadets. A consummate professional and the model of ideal proficiency, Sergeant Major has shown the way for cadets to take pride in their work, remain true to themselves, and uphold a life of virtue by the way he lives. For these reasons, Sergeant Major has inspired many cadets in ways that are not easily forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sergeant Major is ubiquitously respected and appreciated by the S.C.C.C., especially the editors of The Gold Star Journal<\/em>. He is a great friend to us and has graciously supported our operations through the years by approving cadets to wear patches, ribbons, and pins that represent The Journal. The Corps of Cadets and The Gold Star Journal are eternally grateful to Sergeant Major Yagle for his value of high achievement and a job well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
