I'm a National Guard Artillery Officer myself. 105 towed. Been a Battery FDC Chief, BN FSO, Support Platoon Leader, Target Acquisition Platoon Leader and now I'm a firing battery platoon leader and XO. I'm up for Captain shortly, and my last two OERs have basically said I should be put in command once my platoon time is over.
However, I'm supposed to go to Iraq next year, and my BN Commander has said at this point he'd rather send me as a CPT PL rather than moving me up to the staff. Suits me. All the fun of being a PL with the pay of a Captain (and with 14 years TIS, 9 of which were enlisted, that is good pay).
Thanks for the post, I have been thinking of geting one. Looks good. ( Except it needs a red stripe, BUT not for the "canon cockers" but to matctch the "flash" on my Beret ( 7th SF )
