When I was a 2LT with 2/60 (Mech), I was the OIC for the brigade EIB testing after I aced an earlier EIB examination. I was amazed at how incompetent some captains and majors were at map reading and adjusting artillary fire. Battalion S-3 flunked the FO station and even though an SFC wanted to give him a pass, I told him he was a no go. He was pissed, but that wasn't my problem.

FSE, you are going to find a lot of stupid people within the officer corps. Some of the best, and worse, are USMA grads. the worst of the worst are USMA grads.

Like the saying goes, you can't spell "lost" without "LT"!
