Staff Sgt. Karl Gore Named Station Commander for 2Q FY11

By Kim Elchlepp
Columbia Recruiting Battalion

Staff Sgt. was named the Station Commander for the second quarter of 2011. As a station commander, Gore oversees the everyday operations of the Myrtle Beach Recruiting Station. It is his job to make sure that the recruiters in his station are prepared to go out in the community and speak with potential future soldiers.
“I attribute my success as station commander to the fact that I love my job and to the amazing team I get to work with everyday. I enjoy giving back to the same types of communities that I grew up in,” Gore said.
No stranger to hard work, Gore grew up on a farm in Nickels, S.C. He said he is proud of where he came from, but he also wanted to see more of what the world had to offer. So, he joined the Army in 1989 as an Infantry Soldier who worked on helicopters. In 1999, he decided to become a recruiter and in 2003 was made a station commander. He has also been a Special Forces recruiter and a part of the Mobile Exhibition Battalion at the U.S. Recruiting Command in Ft. Knox. His awards as a recruiter include the Gold Badge, the Recruiter Ring and the Glen E. Morrell Award.
