35. You could become a S3, XO, BN Cdr, or Bde Cdr without being Resident CGSC graduate.

O/T, but I was an S-4 as a 1st LT. One of the best jobs I ever had. I was supremely prepared for it: Public Accounting degree and six months as Property Book Officer (normally a warrant's job, but I was pressed into it).

Group HQ hated me. I ran circles around them during inspections and annual budgets. LOL - I was so good, I was even able to divert an aircraft in flight. We had a missile system coming back from Crete with a busted radiator. By sheer luck and persistence, I found the right place after being on the phone for 5 hours. Plane was diverted to Bitburg 10 minutes before it was to land at Rhein Main.

Had it landed at Rhein Main, just try and imagine the difficulties of getting a 30 ton tracked vehicle towed 120 miles on a Friday afternoon.

No problem imagining, the answer would have been. It is sitting right here until Monday morning.
