have said:

"From day one, the hands-on officer professional development and interactive speakers made a lasting impression on me. I will take this experience with me forever."

"Every JO can benefit from JOPDS - I will be sure to carry this message back to my commander and my unit. JOPDS was an excellent opportunity to expose JOs to senior leaders and potential mentors."
