A/PO KAREN "SNIPER" THOMAS

Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal". The leader may or may not have any formal authority. Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits,[2] situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values,[3] charisma, and intelligence, among others. Somebody whom people follow: somebody who guides or directs others. Leadership is A/PO Sniper Thomas!!! A/PO Sniper is the first RECRUIT to win this award.
