Personal Narrative: My Personal Experiences Of A Warrant Officer

294 Words2 Pages

That was one of the common mistakes I was always afraid to make as a warrant officer.

Regardless of your naughty decisions supposedly every JTF Trooper will fall into one of the four categories before their demobilization back home: a hunk, chunk, drunk or monk. Although my thought is pure and simple, why not become a collaboration of all of the above?
