I will glady serve where ever the Army decides is best for me. I have no quams with being the best transportation officer I can be if that is what I am assigned. That said, I wouldnt have any problems being an 11Bravo E-2 either. I realize it is all about service, and that is why I chose this career field. However, I would prefer to serve my country in certain jobs more than others. SF or SOF would be the ultimate career field if I was somehow given the opportunity and was successful. I did not mean for that last post to come off the way that you may have interpreted it.
Thank you all for your responses already, Rick

Just a howdy from a lurker.
What an incredible learning tool and community you folks have here!
Enjoying looking and learning while trying to figure out how/whom to contact about finding a lost friend who is an 18C3(probably 4)PP5.
I'll just stick to them shadows over there and keep out of your way.
Cheers!

I do not quite know how to take that remark. I have known many NCO's that were better "leaders" than the officers under which they served. I have known officers and NCO that were not worth a pound of salt. NCO's and Officers have different rolls to play but it is the same trates that make an NCO or officer excell at what they do!

I think mine!
I guess I didn't spell it out well enough, what I was trying to covey was that I had had experience as a senior NCO, CWO, and O.
I fully concur that the traits that make a leader, are needed in all grade structures, I never felt that I would make a good CSM, I figured I could do a good job at any other level.

FNG reportin for duty
I offer a warm hello to all. I found this site by accident and decided to sign up. I left group in 81 to become a PA. Poor choice. I haven't wandered back much since I am too broke dick now. Damn, I could not even function as a contractor. I miss the teams, the people and the ..........
I though this might be a place to warm the soul with some old friends and memories. Gleen Witt, where are you (best man at my wedding).
Any how, great to be here, thanks for the open door, and guess I better find my coin. There could be too much beer to buy here.
Edit: Moved to the correct location. Kyo

CAPAUSRET. "You will not be a good O if you do not possees those traits that make an Officer a leader"....... CAPAUSRET could transition from senior NCO, to WO, and to Captain because he had/has the traits of a leader. The same traits make or break you as an NCO or Officer.
It isn't the first time there have been comments made that infer if you don't have the traits to be a good leader you would do better as an NCO. I happen to believe that every NCO in SF has or should have excellent leadership traits or they don't belong in SF. Being on a team in one of the Groups is not the place to learn leadership traits.
If you don't have the required traits, go find a slot in a unit as a soldier. Don' try to develope them while serving on an SF team.
My rant for the day. Best wishes to all.

I guess you didn't read my response to your post.
This is the last site where you see will NCO's demeaned, I am in a hurry therefore shouldn't be posting, but if you gleaned that from this board you must have misread something.

Guten Tag jederman. I was just introduced to this site, I am an 18D stuck in SWC right now, if anyone has come from SWTG lately they know the feeling. I'm headed for 10th Group hopefully sometime around late Oct. (Carson) I know a couple who've lived out there, I have heard that it's really amazing. Nice to be among brothers.
