U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Krystal Chambers (right) of U.S. Army Pacific, takes the honor of being the first noncommissioned officer (NCO) to salute her husband, U.S. Army Capt. Jeremy Chambers (left), and to receive the silver dollar coin, Dec. 4, 2025, Fort Shafter, Hawaii. Among the countless Soldiers who have risen through the ranks with exceptional skill, few have made an impact as profound as the Master Sergeant who recently became the NCO to commission directly as a Captain in the highly selective career field of Foreign Area Officer (FAO). This milestone represents not only a remarkable personal achievement but also a broader shift in how the Army recognizes diverse leadership potential across its force. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
