I once had a fresh out of the box Troop Comd say to me after my CD presentation, "12 years in and still a Cpl? What's the matter with you?" I replied " Talk to me when you get your CD, sir." Saluted, did a smart about turn and marched away. On parade 9 years later,, the same officer slouched out like a sack full of hammers to receive his CD, a Captain. Couldn't resist a parting shot across his bow.. "12 years in and still a Captain, eh, sir?....." guess the rest....Bruce Monkhouse said:Which is very true, but I think what he was trying to show is that there are life-long Captains who do great jobs also but someone with no military knowledge reading most of this thread would think they were the disease of the army.
Not relevant to the topic, I know....
