Ryan,<div><br></div><div>Not sure how long you been here on RallyPoint but my comments are said tongue-in-cheek. &nbsp;Look through the discussions and you'll see what I'm talking about. &nbsp;There are discussions questioning what PT scores really mean as far as your leadership potential and things like that.&nbsp;</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. &nbsp;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>
