I haven't decided on whether to go NCO/EM or Officer. I was enlisted on Active duty and only advanced to Specialist (E4), but then attended Officer Candidate School in the Guard and became a Second Lieutenant. In all honesty, the more fun job is the NCO. He is closer to the action; hence more to write about. But I may go the O route. Who knows? EDIT: I'm going to start off EM. There is always the option of a Battlefield Commission! See [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy]Audie Murphy[/url]
