Just as we no longer have the Lts as XOs we, the 18As must become team members without the old initial influences.
I just want to reinforce the become a team member. Once a person becomes a "Team Member" he tends to remain one for the rest of his career regardless of assignments.
To me the "easiest" job a Captain can have in the army is a Team Leader. Placed at the head of a highly functional unit with mostly senior NCO professionals. Just assist with keeping the goal orientation and personalities in check.
The Brain trust an 18A is provided can only be a great benefit to professional development.
Just my Zwei centavos.
It certainly does spoil you.
