Not sure how I feel about that since there’s no guarantee you could hold it the following month.

As with most things around here, the contract isn’t explicit and if you ask three people, you’ll get three different answers.
True. I couldn’t care less how inconvenienced training sked is. They don’t really care about inconveniencing people with constant move ups and denial of training preferences.

Summer UPG will prob go junior so I’d bid it if I wanted to upgrade. I’d only do summer training if I were upgrading in my base though…not gonna hose my summer and commute.
