What do you think about officer training?I was wondering if its was better to go through officers training or to just join and work my way up??? i want to know what men in the military are more comfortable with a man out of trainign or a guy thats worked his way up. My grandpa who was in WWII said that he didn't like the officers out of the officer school.

I think only people that want to be an officer should attend the training.

Seriously though. a person that collects experience as enlistee and then transfers to officers training has one advantage over the one that just goes straight into the OCS from college: They know the importance of treating their men fairly, and they know something of their needs. I would reccomend a person to work with in to climb the ladder for that reason.

Every officer attends an "officer training" of some sort, whether it be OCS, ROTC, or an Academy.
To me, it doesn't matter a bit what route an officer takes to get their commission, as long as they continue to earn/deserve that commission and their position throughout their careers, you can get chickensh*t officers from any of those paths, it all depends on what they do once they become officers that matters, not how they got there.

It is just about respecting your soldiers when you are in that position that matters. Respect their experiences and not being afraid to ask questions and look to them for answers. After they see that it won't matter how you got there.

You don't want to play this game with me, sweetheart.
If you want some free relationship advice, don't take things so dadgum personal, look at it as somebody trying to help you, rather than trying to make you cry.

Drive on.

(by the way, I used "no" instead of "not," NOT "know )

Ok, goalie, this is getting out of hand, I don't care if you want to play games while you make a point, but this kind of thing needs to stop.

Drive on.
