Lucas Johnson, a chemical specialist, representing the Mariettabased
201st Regional Support Group, was named the winner of
the junior enlisted competitors.
“As junior leaders, I need you to truly lead by example,” said
Command Sgt. Maj. Roy Marchert, Georgia National Guard
Senior Enlisted Adviser. “When you go back to where you are
from and start to tell your story about what you did here this
week, just remember that all eyes are on you. That is critical.”
Twelve competitors from around the state represented four
brigades. For the competitors it means a lot to represent their unit
during the state competition. Brisbay and Johnson will represent
not only their unit and brigade, but the Georgia National Guard
at regional Best Warrior Competition at North Carolina in May
2019.
“It feels amazing to win,” said Johnson. “This opportunity is
going to help progress in my career, and it means everything.”
