Look at the Private standing before you. I think everyone that knows him would agree that his behaviour is woefully inadequate to that of a Pvt. I mean, just look at him. Almost perfect attendance for most of his time here, an everlasting can-do attitude and always ready to give and receive feedback. Judging by all this, if that’s not how a PFC acts, then I have no idea how one does. So, with all that out of the way. Let’s go ahead and fix that chevron on his shoulder.
Pvt. Menezes, congratulations on your promotion to Private, First Class.
