We will never know, and you'd be suprised.

I live with the Army's decisions on who should be an analyst.

90% of your time on 10% of the problems.

4 years in 1/3 and I've chaptered 2, and made sure that 3 did not re-enlist.

1 such case was bestowed upon me in 2006. In the Army's infinite wisdom, they sent me a turd that after 6 months, could not pass Airborne School. The turd got to me with 11 months time in service, after which I discovered he spent the entire 6 months post AIT at the Airborne School.

I got told by the schoolhouse that they do a good job of weeding out the bad ones and send them to the right units. Obviously someone failed repeatedly.

I'll continue to do my part, everyone needs trash cleanup done on their camp somewhere. And if it ever comes to demasking procedures being emplaced, you can sure bet I've had my eye on one for a while.
