A soldier's career is affected at least once each year when he/she receives an efficiency report. In the military system, there must be near perfection in the evaluations in order to be promoted. ANYTHING negative is a discriminator that will totally derail a career.
Trust me. If POTUS puts out the word on you today, your career is effectively over by the end of today.
I have pinged Thunder6. T6, see if my #421 aligns with your understanding as well.
T6 has greater knowledge of this military system than do I. Perhaps it has changed since I exited service.
