@JimmyT - I have to to say that the jobs in the military are a lot like jobs in the working world. The jobs in the military and the pay scales that represent them correspond with the demand for that particular skill. This is why a regular infantry soldier does not make anywhere near...
With lives on the line, officers may be faced with a decision that could mean life or death for him or his subordinates in a moments notice. In these cases, the Army expects its officers to have the confidence to make a good decision in flexible and often changing environments. This skill...
