We have had a surprising number of lawyers enter under 18X contracts and I have been satisfied with their performance thus far.

It has to be hilarious having an E4 lawyer on an ODA, both on the team, and in interacting with those outside the team.

In my SF career, I never failed to be impressed by some of the odd skills that team members, especially those who came in through the Guard brought with them. I have served with principals, craftsmen, equipment operators, former elected representatives (none with a wide stance, that I knew of), etc.

I would rather have the guy who actually stuck it out through school and finished it. I do not have a lot of respect for quitters, and once you start, it gets to be a habit.
