Impressive. You were a special operator? Which branch of service?
LOL, hell no I was a REMF.
However, I did have a 54 designation (Operations) and when the Screaming Eagles were tasked to provide an O5 to be the Task Force director of operations they immediately went to their best and brightest selecting an over the hill Air Defense Reservist to fill the slot.
But what was really needed was a liaison between the Task Force and the other higher HQs, something that I actually excelled. That to the point that as late as 2010 I met military that said they remembered my reports.
