The question is: "are you considering SF as a potential career change?". If you are, the experience you're gaining now will be invaluable. (If you survive without a 15-6 or a pile of FLIPLs at your CofC inventory, you get a "GO" for that station. I know lots of SF CDRs that would love to get their hands on somebody with the background you're acquiring so early in your career!) If you're not, then you're wasting your time trying to compare apples and oranges. FWIW - today's ODA has as many "lines of property" as you do. Fortunately, ODA's don't normally have to worry about 15 vehicles. It's all the little stuff and maintaining property books in several locations that bites everybody in the 4th POC.
And keep worrying about your time management skills. LTs are supposed to spend every minute sucking - it's like an internship for Drs. Pay your dues, the scut work decreases as the responsibilities of command increase. (That doesn't mean you're not responsible for getting it done, just that you'll have some poor 2LT that needs extra duties and mentorship to teach him responsibility and time management.)

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
