Colonel Mustion has Impact on Army Students
COL Mustion and San Diego City College are definitely ALL on the same sheet of music and that is "Taking care of Soldiers". Our SDCC instructors provide sound and informative PFM training to his and over 100,000 other Soldiers each year.
COL Mustion who heads most of AIT training at Fort Jackson has been selected for promotion to B.G. He is also a member of the Army Emergency Relief Board of Managers and a strong voice for Army PFM training for enlisted and officers. He has praised SDCC efforts training Soldiers and would like to see PFM classes in the NCO academies and for all new Army officers.
In the class he visited he provided a motivational speech and all 27 Soldiers enrolled in TSP. What a positive impact he had on them.
Program Manager Ron Jaeh gives credit to lead instructor SGM (R) L.Z. Harrison for his leadership, saying "Your strong support means very much to us", and also recognized COL (R) Dennis Spiegel, from Army Emergency Relief headquarters, who'se efforts were very instrumental in all AIT Soldiers receiving these 8 hour PFM classes. |
