FORT LEONARD WOOD — The Army's competition for Non-Commissioned Officer of the year came to an end today after a grueling process, when the personal records review revealed only one competitor had not had sex with any of his trainees. The Army announced that Sergeant First Class Daniel Mason won the coveted title of NCO of the year, as well as Drill Sergeant of the Year by default.

After two weeks of intense physical and mental challenges, Mason was neck and neck with his competition, but the last phase ended with a clear cut victory for the non-commissioned officer.

"It was an easy decision in the end" said Sgt. Maj. Robert Callahan. "To have that much tactical and technical knowledge without sleeping with his trainees is simply astounding."
