This approach greatly improved the quality of the Cadets entering the program.- Identified and eliminated inefficiencies in contracts and in the four budgets that I manage (scholarship, Army General, Army Logistics, RIT). The funds saved through this approach were used to expand and improve the training facilities. Show less
