We’re very proud of this 1st Lieutenant!

Happy Father’s Day

80 years ago, allied troops stormed Normandy's beaches. Their bravery liberated France, turning the tide of the war in Europe.

Victory came at a price: thousands lost, wounded, or missing.

Today, we honor the Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen who fought for freedom in Operation Overlord.

Big Day at the RRBn!

1st.
Excellence deserves to be recognized. Congratulations to SSG Leffler & CW2 King for bringing home 10 Warrant Officer accessions in
March! Outstanding job.

2nd.
We bid farewell to one of our favorite Soldiers today. The Rockstar, The man, The myth, The Boston Marathon Qualifier, The one & only CPT Tim Glavin. CPT Glavin has been with the RRBn for more than 6 years. For the last several years he has been the OSM OIC & has done an amazing job. CPT Glavin is a highly disciplined & motivated Soldier that makes everyone around him better. Good luck at your next assignment Sir. Your presence will be greatly missed.

Happy Armed Forces Day

Don’t take our word for it. Ask anyone who’s worn the uniform. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make.

And soooo much more 🇺🇸

I had to really zoom in to see it! Beautiful!!

Congratulations on retirement MSG Justin Luetjen.
He spent more than 25 years serving in both the Air Force and the Missouri Army National Guard. MSG Luetjen has served in many positions with the Missouri Guard, most recently as our RSP NCOIC. You will be greatly missed MSG. Enjoy retirement.

Recognizing Soldiers for excellence is one of the best parts of our job. Congratulations to all the recipients.

Today we had the bittersweet honor of promoting our long standing Marketing NCO, SGT Alexander Whelan to Staff Sergeant (SSG). SSG Whelan has been with the RRBn for 6 years and every year he has gone above & beyond the call of duty. Unfortunately for us his promotion comes with a change of duty station outside of the RRBn. We cannot put in to words how much SSG Whelan’s presence will be missed inside the walls of Blue Armory, but we are beyond grateful to have had the chance to work with & know him. Congratulations SSG, well deserved.

We had a great time supporting the FFA State Conference the last couple of days. What a turn out! Thanks for all the love & support. God bless our farmers & future farmers.

The Missouri Army National Guard is a proud sponsor of the Future Farmers of America (FFA). Today we were honored to have our very own SSG Shelton Johnson, a former FFA member, present awards to many well deserving chapters of Missouri’s FFA. We will be at the Trowbridge Center tomorrow for the EXPO. Stop by and see us for a one of a kind FFA/Guard shirt (pictured below).

The MOARNG is a proud sponsor of the Missouri Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). We’ll be at the Springfield Expo Center today & tomorrow sharing the many benefits of the Guard & handing out some rad t-shirts. Stop by and see us.

Graduation isn’t far away. Did you know that by joining the guard you have an opportunity to attend college for free. Before you, your son or daughter take on thousands of dollars of student loan debt talk to one of our recruiters about how we can help with college expenses.

Yesterday we had the bittersweet honor of hosting the retirement ceremony for our very own MSG Roger Moss. In terms of production MSG Moss has been one of the best to ever do it in our organization & when it comes to personality & Soldier care he’s arguably the G.O.A.T. 🐐. MSG Moss has had many assignments during his 27 year career in the MOARNG, all of which he was able to make a positive impact. MSG Moss we will miss your operational support in the MOARNG, but more importantly we will greatly miss your presence. From all of us at the MORRBN, Enjoy retirement. You’ve earned it!
