I had 0-6's and even an Admiral 0-7 back off and explain stuff, no malice on
either side! That is perfect! We all grinned and agreed. Sometimes orders are not
clear and have to be laid out better.

Most everyone I served with were good people, but I mean any big organization is going to have assholes and jerk offs. And most of the time everyone knows who they are . I had a pretty good experience in my career overall.

I sometimes wish I had gone regular Army, but being full time National Guard was good too because outside of a couple deployments it was just a regular job where I worked 40 hours a week and got to eat dinner with my family ( in fact while I was serving no knock warrants, I usually got to eat breakfast with them as well as I'd be coming home pretty close to the time they would be getting ready for their days since late night was the best time to serve no knock warrants)
