1SG Andersen
I have been informed by my training staff that the commander does not want me the 1SG in charge of the units APFT.
I have developed and assigned along with the commander another soldier to run the PRT program / remedial training.
Now the commander is nixing me for him and I will have no say; i understand the commander is respectable for the over all, but this is ridicules.
Note; soldiers are trying to pull a fast one because some failed.
Where is there a regulation to help me get back in the game to convince the commander this is wrong and I still need to supervise and over see his APFTs and physical training as I was taught in 1SG School?
please reply on my email address, thanks.
