FORT HOOD, Texas — Just a few short days after completing the Adjutant General Officer Basic Course, Army 1st Lt. George McAllister is already earning accolades as the personnel officer for a Fort Hood based combined arms battalion by losing leave forms faster than any of his predecessors.

While previous S-1’s for the battalion usually waited until the moment soldiers attempted to sign out for block leave to inform them that their DA-31 forms were nowhere to be found, McAllister is already exceeding standards by ensuring that such gross disregard for the personal lives of soldiers would occur even before their paperwork reaches his desk, according to sources.

"McAllister may be the most efficient personnel officer I've ever had," said Lt. Col. Bill Griffin, the battalion commander.
