Why would they do something like that? Wouldn't that put the CSM at a dissadvantage as far as discharging his duties in addition to causing operational problems with the company?

I hope those aren't stupid questions.
In his own words: "Hell, everyone knows you can't make CSM in SF unless you had an SF Company."

Yes.

Not stupid questions, just stupid decisions.

We have also had Company, Battalion, and Group commanders without a day on an A Team after Robin Sage, and USASOC and USSOCOM Commanders who were not SF qualified.

Makes FID and UW interesting.

Go figure.
