Good evening! I wanted to take the opportunity to re-visit today's IPR discussion regarding the upcoming Warrant Officer Candidate Workshop. I appreciate everyone that participated and took time out of their busy schedules to call-in. I cannot stress how important this event is to our warrant officer cohort and to the TXARNG organization. Our slogan this FY is : "Year of the Officer", therefore we truly want to be successful in hosting this event.
Just to re-cap once again regarding the troop to task for all participants:
