  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Command 
Sergeant Major Roger B. Schulz, for his extraordinary dedication to 
duty and service to the United States of America. Command Sergeant 
Major Roger B. Schulz will retire as Command Sergeant Major and Senior 
Enlisted Advisor to the Army Reserve Medical Command on October 1, 
2012. His service spans over thirty-six years of military duty to the 
United States Army Reserve.
  Command Sergeant Major Schulz has served in numerous assignments 
throughout his career and participated in many operations, including 
OPERATION JACKFROST and OPERATION BRIMFROST conducted in Alaska, and 
OPERATION BRIGHT STAR conducted in Egypt. He supported OPERATION DESERT 
STORM while stationed at Fort McCoy, WI, and deployed to Baghdad in 
support of OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM.
  Command Sergeant Major Schulz began his career as an Infantryman; 
serving for twelve years holding the positions of Rifleman through 
Platoon Sergeant. Following his time in the Infantry, Command Sergeant 
Major Schulz dedicated himself to the education of future Army leaders. 
He has served as an Instructor, Team Sergeant and Senior Instructor, 
4th Army Light Fighter Academy; Brigade Operations Sergeant, 4th 
Brigade, 91st Division; Division Operations Sergeant, 91st Division; 
Battalion Operations Sergeant, Training Support Battalion, 104th 
Division; Chief of Operations, Primary Leader Development Course 
Manager and First Sergeant, U.S. Army Noncommissioned Officer's 
Academy; Deputy Commandant/Director of Instruction, U.S. Army 
Noncommissioned Officer's Academy; Installation Command Sergeant Major; 
Commandant, U.S. Army Noncommissioned Officer's Academy and Commander, 
12th Battalion, 6th Brigade, 104th Division; and Commander, Company A, 
United States Army Sergeants Major Academy.
  In 2003, Command Sergeant Major Schulz was assigned to the 3rd 
Medical Command where he was instrumental in the development of two 
Army Medical Department accredited schools in Iraq. His career is 
culminating at the Army Reserve Medical Command, where he is 
responsible for the discipline, morale, welfare, and education of over 
28,000 Soldiers. Through his guidance and leadership the command 
sustainment rate was over 91%. He initiated the first Sergeant Audi 
Murphy Board for the command and set the requirements for the continued 
success of the program.
  The Army Medical Department, the United States Army, and the Nation 
will dearly miss one of its most respected and a valued leader as 
Command Sergeant Major Roger B. Schulz retires. We will miss his 
humility, selflessness, candor and integrity. Command Sergeant Major 
Roger B. Schulz's exemplary leadership and selfless devotion to duty 
has touched fully three generations of Soldiers and their Families.
  On behalf of a grateful Nation, I join my colleagues today in 
recognizing Command Sergeant Major Roger B. Schulz for a lifetime of 
service to his country. For all he and his family have given and 
continue to give to our country; we are in their debt. We wish him and 
his wife, Command Sergeant Major Tommie Schulz, all the best in his 
retirement.
