    I am not sure what I stated that would give you the impression that this is my position. As a matter of fact, I began my post with an acknowledgement to the value of the senior NCO/JO relationship. However, I would argue that in some instances where this relationship breaks down, it is as...

    Explaining the uniqueness of an SA

    I am not quite sure what do you mean by this? Don't you think the family and friends of 2nd Lt Graves might disagree with you? http://www.forcerecon.com/gravestc.htm
