As a retired O-6 let me suggest that no self-respecting stand-up military officer ever wants to be an "action officer" in the Pentagon. This means you are a gofer on some large bureaucratic staff tracking meetings and memos and coordination groups and the processes by which to formualate decision memoranda for things that won't be decided until two administrations from now.
I know one of those. Not an O-6, but a fed gofer all the same and an ABSOLUTE a$$
Interesting. thank you.
sure sounds important, though
