@USArmySMA Software engineering? On DODIIN? Would love to see the places that actually happens because it's a fight to build capabilities where we need them.
@USArmySMA Great story but his job allows him to do so. Not sure what his OP Tempo is. But very few in combat arms get to do that. Without making major sacrifices. It can be done, don’t get me wrong.
@USArmySMA I wonder if a beard would hinder his job performance
@USArmySMA Doesn't have a Marksmanship badge and his beret is abysmal. What NCO let their LT walk out like this?
@USArmySMA Is he the SMA's Soldier of the Month?
@USArmySMA Must be nice. Would’ve been finished w/ my Masters Year’s ago; but I had to ask permission to even use the bathroom & when I took 2 steps, my phone blew up asking where I was. I literally couldn’t even shit/piss in peace, so I KNEW it was gonna be a NOGO
@USArmySMA This is the perfect example of “service before self”. Although he could and will eventually find better compensation outside of the military; while he is in, he will gain unique skills, perspective and knowledge that will set him apart of is non-service member peers.
@USArmySMA What the world could be if we were allowed to use our benefits. Look at Congress Bill HR 1767 , every Vet needs a chance .
