Ryan,<div><br></div><div>Not sure how long you been here on RallyPoint but my comments are said tongue-in-cheek.  Look through the discussions and you'll see what I'm talking about.  There are discussions questioning what PT scores really mean as far as your leadership potential and things like that. </div><div><br></div><div>So I'm not sure if your comment about my math being drunk is some sort of personal attack or what but all I am trying to do is having a fun with this rather funny discussion.  You are right though, I've seen people with zero leadership abilities but great PT scores and the ability to memorize answers to questions get pinned to the next higher rank.</div>
