OPINION
RESTANI, Judge.
This is an appeal of a sentence imposed following a violation of supervised release. We will affirm the sentence.
On November 26, 2007, Douglas Griggs pled guilty to two violations of the conditions of his supervised release — leaving the judicial district without permission and failure to pay the fine imposed at sentencing for the original conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm. After a period of two weeks to consider the record, the District Court sentenced him to a term of imprisonment of one year and one day and one year of supervised release, a sentence which exceeded the range specified in the United States Sentencing Guidelines by one day.
We will not recite here all the facts concerning Mr. Griggs's original crime or the circumstances of the supervised release because they are well-known to the parties and were well-known to the sentencing court. Griggs does not challenge the Guidelines calculation. Bather, he claims the sentence was procedurally and substantively defective because the Court failed to consider the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). The claim is based upon the Court's failure to discuss the factors specifically and in detail. Failure to cite to each § 3553(a) factor, however, is not a ground for reversal. United States v. Charles, 467 F.3d 828, 831 (3d Cir.2006). It is clear to us from the record, however, that the Court was aware of all of the facts which related to the sentencing factors that the Court considered, and that the Court arrived at a reasonable sentence, though not the non-custodial one defendant sought. It is also clear from the record and the words used by the Court that weighing large in the formulation of the sentence was the purpose of sanctioning defendant for his breach of trust. This is an appropriate consideration. See United States v. Dees, 467 F.3d 847, 853 (3d Cir.2006).
We perceive no substantive or procedural error in the sentence imposed. The District Court's Judgment and Conviction Order will be affirmed.
. The defendant requested the extra day in order to qualify for good-time credit.
