Filed · 1540

JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. — Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey recognized Sgt. James McBray of 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, as the 2015 Meat Gazer of the Year, the Army announced Monday.

"I've never seen a soldier get after meat gazing with the personal courage and never-quit attitude that McBray embodies," Dailey said. "McBray's execution of the locker room casual glance technique (LRCGT) has inspired a new field manual on the subject."
