A promotion certificate doesn't really mean anything. Your promotion orders are what matters. Someone in S1 messed up and they and your BC missed it.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 11 at 2021 6:05 PM2021-11-11T18:05:54-05:002021-11-11T18:05:54-05:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member7368268<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There's a Private Benjamin episode like this (did I just date myself). <br /><br />Fixing it could result in her getting SGM next.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 14 at 2021 1:17 AM2021-11-14T01:17:36-05:002021-11-14T01:17:36-05:002021-11-10T21:45:06-05:00
