Pipelines and Progress: CW4 Fore Breaks Down PME and Warrant Officer Accessions


Listen Later

In this episode of COHORT W, host CW4 Jessie Morlan sits down with CW4 Kelvie Fore, the Warrant Officer Strength Manager for the Virginia Army National Guard, to discuss his extraordinary 35-year journey in the Army and his perspective on modernizing Warrant Officer Professional Military Education (PME).

From beginning his career in 1989 as a 31U Unit-Level Communications Maintainer to becoming a 915A Automotive Maintenance Technician and now serving as Virginia’s Warrant Officer Strength Manager, CW4 Fore brings a lifetime of insights to the mic. Along the way, he has served in many specialties, completed multiple overseas deployments, and shaped the next generation of Warrant Officers as a TAC Officer and Course Director at Fort Novosel.

Tune in as CW4 Fore shares what worked in his PME experience, where improvements are needed, and how the Guard's future depends on balancing accessions with relevant, timely education. His story is a powerful reminder of how professional growth, lifelong mentorship, and personal grit form the backbone of our Warrant Officer Cohort.

Topics include:

  • Lessons from a multi-decade career in uniform
  • Building and managing the Warrant Officer pipeline
  • PME’s evolving role in readiness and retention
  • Practical insight on bridging PME with operational demands
