People First Center command team
FORT HOOD, Texas - 1st Sgt. Amanda Hoover describes Capt. Rosa Meeks as the Yang to her Yin – the perfect balance for a first sergeant and commandant who are carving out their place in history as the first-ever command team of the People First Center here, never mind the fact that they are also one of very few female command teams in the Army.
“When we first discovered that we’d be working together, we did the right thing and just sat down and talked about our dos and don’ts. How do you communicate effectively and how do you expect me to communicate? Things you think should just happen, but they usually don’t,” Meeks explained. “I think that’s the key to our success, sitting down and talking about our expectations and setting our rules of engagement.”
With 10 years of experience in the Army, Hoover admitted that it is often difficult to find a female battle buddy who balances out one’s own qualities. With Meeks, however, Hoover has found that unique dynamic.
