[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Officer families - yes, enlisted families - no. [/quote]

My dad is a retired three star General.  My DH left the Army as a full Colonel to join the Feds. I am so thankful my dad raised us not to view our enlisted and NCO service members as "less than".  I spent most of my adult life taking care of our youngest military families.  [b]Our young enlisted troops are the ones doing the really hard work.  They are tomorrow's leaders.[/b] Our NCOs are leaders who spend their days training and developing enlisted AND young officers.  If you have chosen to eliminate them as possible friends, I assure you - You are the one missing out.  [/quote]

If your dad was a General, you were not hanging out, outside school with enlisted families.  [/quote]

first statement is true, second statement is not.[/quote]

The enlisted do all the crap work.  They aren't tomorrow's leaders because they are not encouraged or able to become officers as many don't go in with college degrees.  Officers go on and on about getting degrees but most went directly through college and then into the military whereas enlisted only have a high school diploma.  [/quote]

There are many many enlisted commissioning programs. You don't know what you're talking about. Plus, there are a surprising number of enlisted personnel with college degrees. This is the Vietnam era service any more. [/quote]
