National guardsman to get DA photo taken when he loses 10 pounds, finds jacket
OMAHA, Neb. — Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Jason Hitchcock plans to update his official Department of the Army photo as soon as he loses 10 pounds, members of the 134th Cavalry Regiment report.
“You see, uh, the holidays kind of got away from me,” Hitchcock reportedly told fellow soldiers. “This spring I’m going to work out, eat right, and get back to fighting weight. If I took a DA photo right now, I’d just look like the stereotypical overweight Guard guy.”
Hitchcock, who would be a great selection for promotion due to his three combat tours, marksmanship skills, and deep commitment to his soldiers, will not have his promotion packet go to the state board until he updates his DA photo.
