First off, good post COL Jack!

I expect an officer to utilize the knowledge and experience of the NCO around him.

I expect an officer to fight for his personnel.

I expect an officer to have no concept of what a "yes man" is.

I expect an officer to have the knowledge and skills to make decisions that will best accomplish a given mission and also take into consideration the lives and safety of the personnel involved.

I expect an officer to succeed and advance without leaving boot marks on those he led.

And I pretty much expect the same thing from senior NCO's.
