In the first platoon I was assigned, 3 of my 4 squad leaders were ROAD: Retired On Active Duty. The other two that I led, over an 18 month period, we’re awesome. The most enjoyable one was a Towed Vulcan platoon with three E4 squad leaders.
The other platoon was a Chaparral Missile platoon. The Platoon Sergeant was incredible, hastened my development, I’m forever grateful for his tutelage.
