At the graduation and completion of the Bulgarian non-commissioned officer development course, a Bulgarian NCO instructor shakes hands with the Marines from Black Sea Rotational Force 11 that have not only displayed their military professionalism but also their ability to be personable and friendly. A dedicated team of eight Marines from the rank of corporal to first sergeant made the NCO Development detachment that conducted courses to advise and build the leadership ability and responsibility of partner nations’ NCO Corps. The Marines have been traveling around the Black Sea, Balkan and Caucasus regions of Eastern Europe since April providing the NCO development course to the participating countries who have requested it. They have conducted NCO-development training with Romania, Serbia, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria with future stops in Georgia, Ukraine, Bosnia and Macedonia.
