Posting because he was a 23-year-old pv2, thats… sad. Maybe don’t let people out of prison to go home to face a disciplinary hearing without an escort?
As a note: the pfc promotion is generally automatic after 1 year and often out of basic if you can follow simple directions.
BTW I’m assuming he wasn’t a spc or cpl or something and busted down, but we should also try to keep out worse performing soldiers away from the crazy nuclear state, because if he’d managed to have a weapon somehow this conversation would be less odd.
This is a young person with what looks like some serious issues given his previous record and rank. I suspect the government is going to afford him the opportunity to consider alternative career paths, but I hope he gets home safely and gets the help he needs.
He’s a pv2 at 23, clearly he has problems, who is sending him to the NK border of all places?
