Did I let anyone set it? I said no because no one else in the platoon had it. I was then told that tradition is hazing.<br />I understand that there is a reason it's considered that, some people went to far, but me as a soldier should I have a choice in it? I have had few mentors I. My career that have led from the front but those that have, I would have been honored to set my EFMB or my rank. Just looking for thoughts.
