    Reporting Drug Use Question

    Been through the application process more than once and have been told what I shared. There are much more qualified applicants than there are slots available. I am sure there have been those that admitted to drug use and have been appointed but it's one less thing to worry about if you didn't...

    Reporting Drug Use Question

    Our ALO spoke to us and said more than once is way too many. Trying once and trying over again shows tendency to commit something that clearly has no place in an institution that has zero tolerance policy. More than one is plural or is it not in your book?

    You can call it whatever you want. It is not my business to know why. I hope that the alternative route you choose works out. Good luck to your new endeavours.

    Close the SA's

    Voluntary Resignation

    Doesn't it make a difference at what point(plebe,C2C) you decide to quit? Don't they make you pay back if you are out processed after commitment 2/7?

    Close the SA's

    Why not just outsource like everything else? I'm sure there's cheaper ways to produce leaders. Just like the majority of stuff we buy, not much made here anymore. Get rid of the SAs we can have officers for much less. Maybe they can just have on-line degrees. Any other brilliant ideas?
