The reference just flew right over my head
We had a kid come in who said he literally wanted to be the next Patton, so it wouldn't surprise me.....
Why stop there? Be a Patton/MacArthur/Eisenhower/Schwarzkopf/Powell hybrid haha. C'mon be creative!
I want to be the next Colonel Kilgore. Nothing says "Promote ahead of peers" like surfing to Wagner in a yellow bandana.
Now I got that reference! Above center mass for sure and in the cav world you can skip a rank!I want to be the next Colonel Kilgore. Nothing says "Promote ahead of peers" like surfing to Wagner in a yellow bandana.
WOW - I did not expect this many replies. Thank you for all the great information.
I'm in the minority that are not looking to go into one of the combat branches. I've got a couple of years before I really need to worry about this, but I'm hoping to get into Human Resources and eventually want to get into either Civil Affairs or Public Relations. So I hope I'll have a better chance at getting my first choice (HR) since it's not as sought after as other branches like Infantry, Armor, MP, MI, etc.
