"[Tampon] assured [Julin] that, as a then-command sergeant major of his battalion, he would lead his battalion into Iraq. However, later on, Julin said he found out that Walz went around him — to two levels above him — to get his retirement approved before he could actually deploy."
I figure Tampon played hard for E-9 rank, withheld his Congress plans from people ie. lied to get E-9..............finally pissed off enough people that they kept him at E-8.
then for next 20 years, Tampon lied to people about his rank.
