Scott, I could not agree with you more. I was having a discussion about the branches and their structure/discipline when it comes to organazational leadership. There are many cadets of varying ROTC/Gaurd/Active Duty with the different branches here. The marine cadets (ground oriented) seem to be front line type of troops, often with their platoon while outside of green zones, in the mud, etc. Do you think of your PL officers being similar? Everything I've heard about army infantry officers tends to highlight their sleeping abilities before their combat abilities.
