I am proud to recommend SSG Jacob Worley for consideration as a United States Army Warrant Officer Candidate. SSG Worley possesses the qualities required of a future Army Warrant Officer, specifically those needed to excel in the latest addition to the Warrant Officer Military Career Specialties (MOS), the Cyber Operations Technician, 170A.

The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, otherwise known as The Articles of Confederation, were an agreement between all of the thirteen colonies that served as the first constitution. A committee appointed by the Second Continental Congress drafted the Articles in July of 1776, a few days after the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. It was then sent to the colonies for ratification in late 1777. Ratification by 13 colonies was completed in 1781.

Wayne’s authority and influence in the 1960s was similar to the influence of Tom Hanks in the 21st Century.
