Looks like you'll be a power hungry lunatic/ lousy officer. You have it in your head already. Being beat on the court begins off the court.

good theory, if only I cared about command, I love teaching people not commanding them

A good officer, in my opinion, mixes both. If you have no desire to command, you should not be given command. Likewise, if you have too much desire to command, then you shouldn't be given command. It's a delicate balance.

If you command them the right way then you are teaching them. Like wise, if you command them the wrong way you are still teaching them. Only if they understand it is the wrong way.

I totally agree, what I am saying is that a good many Chifs that i know became horrible,power hungry, hipocrate Lt's

i am a cadet of the united states jrotc millitary program....and am PROUD to be one!

But what rank, Cadet?

You can put me down as a grumpy old man

i got promoted to c/cpl today
and i "earned" my blood stripes...it kinda hurt, one of the pins hit an artery and my green undershirt is ruined cuz its covered in blood but i got to miss about 1/2 of my next class cuz i was in the nurses office

that was a hard one to explain to her

Judging from what you said, that sounds an awful lot like hazing. Which is expressly forbidden in the active duty military, as well as all ROTC and JROTC programs.
