We had a Battalion CSM in 2/7 who was one of that august group.
He had the second lowest GT score in the Battalion (right after one of the 76Ys in the Supply Room).
So many troops came by the Battalion S-1 Shop to take out his records and see for themselves that the CSM pulled his own records and locked them up in his desk.
Then you had to be on SDNCO and have graduated Locks and Seals to view them.
Or so I heard.
