I left a dive team, when the time was right. I served well and left with the thanks of my team for doing a good job as the Sr Commo Sgt., with NCOER in hand.
There probably is a good 'ol boy network at some level, it typically works like this.
"Hey Sergeant Major, I heard there was a position at JRTC for NCOIC Range Control. Any chance I could put in for that?" "Sure", comes the reply, "Submit your application to CSM Ruthie, he'll make sure it gets to the right person. Be advised, several have already applied, all wonderful candidates, good luck."
"Thanks Sergeant Major".

At one time, I may well have been the very best commo sergeant the entire Army has ever seen, better than 99.6% of total armed forces in my career field, but when I joined SF, I was just another average everyday soldier who believed being in this regiment and amongst these, my brothers, was perfectly fine with me.
