After 4 years as an enlisted Forward Observer with the infantry, I was commissioned into the JAG Corp about a week ago. It was kind of fun to see the interesting reaction when the Major General who pinned me realized I was going from Specialist (E-4) straight to 1st Lieutenant (O-2). I'm excited about my new career path and looking forward to what's ahead of me. It's a weird transition, but I sure do enjoy the pay raise. I can only hope that I am as good an officer as those who have led and mentored me through my enlisted years.
 
Congrats Sir! In the Marine Corps you would be called a Mustang for going from enlisted to officer. Is that the same in the Army?
 
Congratulations! I would think that you would make a better officer being able to relate to the enlisted folks.
 
Congrats on going from Green to Gold brother and the title of 13F will only be a memory now. I always thought in my 20+ years of active duty that prior enlisted soldiers made the best officers........ :) :thumbs: :cool:

Drive on Sir!!!!!
 
Congrats on the promotion but what about things like OCS and being a butter bar? Doesn't the Army do that ???
