Duty — Something that one is required to do by moral or legal obligation is the dictionary's definition, but here at WMA it is much more. Duty is shown on the personal, the company, nd the battalion level. Personal duty means taking responsiblity for one's actions and performing your assigned tasks to completion. The company's duties are to work together as a whole, to accomplish a successful year together and to try to live up to the company's officers standards. The battalion's duty is to comply with all of the above and to follow the rules and regulations to their utmost. , country Duty 7 • ^m^Kj!^^ i^^^^^^^l if LOOKING TOUGH, D.
