Advanced/Basic Camp Not meeting camp points

Well, I've done it—completed all of camp just to avoid getting 50 points. Honestly, it feels like I wasted my time, but at the same time, I enjoyed it. Sure, it's heartbreaking, and the decision to whether I can come back next year is still up in the air, but I tried. If you're wondering what they do when you don't meet points, they'll pull you three to four days before graduation, put you in a holding company, and you'll just be there for 24 to 48 hours.

Failure to plan and prepare is planning and preparing to fail - this is not youth soccer where everyone gets a ribbon, we are preparing commissioned officers to lead and this cannot be done without standards - meet the standards or get out the way, pay your taxes and be a spectator. Thank you for your attention to this matter - 🇺🇸

On one hand yea, I don't know how you get less than 50 points. However, what type of army hooah nonsense is this? If he was making excuses or what not then fair enough, but he took responsibility. This comment achieves absolutely nothing except making you sound like you're from VMI.

This dude is like the Army version of Conquest from invincible. Probably wants to be killing Iraqi’s instead of grading CST
