On this site, we've discussed at lengths whether or not an officer needs a degree, and whether or not that degree should come from a military college. I want to step aside from that for a moment.
For those who have CFR'd, or those who have worked extensively with CFRs, how do you feel about the statement "All officers should have to serve a minimum of 3 years as an NCM before being eligible to become an officer." (or somrething like that)
Most seem agree that RMC educated officers and non-RMC educated officers start on a different foot but tend to equalize after about 6 months, and just about everyone I know agree that the proportion of "good" vs "bad" officers is the same between the two. I'm curious if it's similar between CFRs and DEOs/ROTPs.
I have my own thoughts on the matter, but as an RMC educated never been NCM (former) officer, I'm obviously biased, so I'm I'm really curious for your thoughts!
