If your leadership believes you have something to gain by going, you should readily attend.

ATRRS would kick it back.<br /><br />It&#39;s too bad, though. I think that this Soldier would benefit from going back and perhaps learning the lessons that obviously did not sink in well when he was reduced 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 02 Jun 2020 23:35:46 -0400 2020-06-02T23:35:46-04:00 2020-06-02T14:45:50-04:00
