[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 16299448, member: 53488"] I agree with your assessment about enlisted being indoctrinated to believe they are more elite or special simply because they serve. I’ve noticed the same thing over the last 16 years. And for the first 4 or so years I had that mentality too but it changed over time. I gave an explanation in an earlier post. If you read my responses I’ve made it pretty clear that I don’t think service members are any better than civilians who never served. It’s a volunteer force and the difference between a service member and a civilian is just the choice in career path. Sure service members make sacrifices that are most often much more extreme than what civilians will do in their lifetime but that doesn’t mean they should be worshiped like a super hero. From the officer side we do have a different mentality overall. We are on a first name basis and the way business is conducted is in many ways similar to my civilian job in the finance industry. So yes, I would say officers have a much easier time transitioning out of the military. [/QUOTE]
