Congratulations!! Wish you the best in your future endeavors and life. May you live long and prosperous!

Congrats! At least the progress is done.

Looks like you weren’t too far behind me. I would have fought for more on the back. But that is a very tough one to get a rating high enough to hit 30 percent on

My started at Gordon, went to Knox, then Gordon for NARSUM, NARSUM then shifted to JBLM. Peblo’s based out of there so maybe that’s why? In the end, it’s all good

JBLM

Thanks!! And I was genuinely confused as heck. Guess I’m not up to date on these bot things.

Yeah. I was unfortunate to be in not one but 2 vehicle accidents including a roll over. As a passenger each time. Needless to say, I drive now. I don’t ride passenger princess anymore. One of them caused a TBI which caused seizure. That’s probably 1/2 to 3/4 of those files. Guard here too.
