Situation Report
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Members of the 470th Military Intelligence Brigade at Fort Sam Houston have expressed concern and confusion following an event early Thursday morning. A newly assigned warrant officer showed up for PT and worked out with the troops. Later that same day, the same warrant officer could be found working at his desk.
“I was pretty confused when I noticed him standing behind the formation,” said First Sgt. Michael Johnson, Headquarters Company First Sergeant. “He followed the commands and fell in with the rest of the unit for PT.”
