The oaths are different, but unless you are an Officer who swore in enlisted personnel on enlistment, or re-enlistment, you might not have ever noticed the differences.

Most, if not all, Officers only swear their oath once, when they are commissioned.

Oh, please, officer are *taught* the differences. At least I was. I also gave briefings, to mixed enlisted and officer groups, about the need to disobey unlawful orders, that is that the enlisted oath to "obey orders" only means "lawful orders".
