Hungry for Flight
So I was checking out "this morning's A-pool" mayhem, and it brings me to a point I'm pondering about becoming an Officer:
What are the experiences of Officers coming from the outside, versus those coming up from within?
I myself have been considering enlisting before I become an Officer because I'd rather be an Officer to men and women whose jobs I understand (or can do myself, or at least whose lifestyles I understand) than come in from the outside and end up unwittingly acting like a jacka$$ to these guys who have been working their butts off long before I arrived. Not to mention the fact that I also want to test myself in boot camp.
Any thoughts on being an outsider-Officer versus an insider?
