I'm going to take a guess and say that:
1. This kid did not get ABN TDY enroute to 7th
2. He got to 7th as a young leg and pissed somebody off
3. His life as SOF support was miserable, by his own making/attitude
4. He resents the fact that he was corrected in any way by anybody
5. His written portion for a board was laughed at by those reading it and stamped "denied" before he even got to face the board
6. We are all overachieving assholes - with the attitude everybody should try as hard as we do to better ourselves - and this kid took exception to that.
And, to borrow Richard's line, stolen from Kurt Vonnegut Jr., "...and, so it goes."
(not bad, a multiply cited, plagaristic plagarism ...)

'Borrowed'...not 'stolen'...and I promise to return it when I'm finished using it.

sir, you always have to get in the last word, don't you? (purposefully left open for you, as courtesy to your 'experience' and 'maturity'  )

Sadly, I knew (watched him shave everyday) the 1SG in 3/7 during this time frame. It would have been nice to know this kid back then.

And people wonder why we keep asking for a Selection Course for Support Soldiers.
