Montgomery, Alabama
At a ceremony today inside the Alabama Capitol, Gov. Kay Ivey promoted him to the rank of major general from brigadier general.
He began his military career in 1988 with USMC basic combat training in Paris Island, South Carolina, followed by USMC fire direction control man course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He entered the U.S. Army reserve officer training program at Auburn University and was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1991.
“I want to acknowledge how important leading by faith is, Governor Ivey. You’ve heard me say this before. I’ve told you this several times, you know when you lead the state of Alabama by faith, and that’s the central part of your platform and that’s the example you lead by, it makes it easy for us. So ma’am, thank you for trusting me to lead the men and women of the Alabama National Guard,” Maj. Gen. Pritchett said.
