Good on him! Although, being prior enlisted is not necessarily an indicator that one will be a good officer. Often leads to being either too harsh or too lenient with the troops...more often too harsh.

I was recently reading a thread on which a young man was asking about becoming a Marine sniper (he asked if an officer could become a sniper--which of course they can't).

The Marine who answered him explained to him that, with the exception of the Navy SEALs, all the interesting jobs in the military go to the enlisted men.

The poor officers get shoved into management.

Both of my sons are Eagle Scouts and enlisted Marines.

One completed a year of college before he went in. He is also a Freeper. He and his brother are both taking college classes while serving. Both entered as Pfc.'s having completed their Eagle. Both are now LCpl's.

And I am damn proud of both of them.

FReegards!
