Thank you all for both the thorough advice and fast responses. Team Sergeant, your directions are well taken. 25m plans are first priority.
If I may, lets say all goes well and everything happens according to plan, as a cpt, in order to stay with a team or "stay operational" can one pass up a promotion or opt to stay in the field? The reason I ask is that there appears to be a general rule of thumb that cpts are on teams for just a short while until they get promoted etc. Im someone who is going the officer route only for the money. I have a wife and 2 kids---which are dear to me---but the fire to serve in such a capacity keeps me up at night. So I am sure you can understand the need to balance my own ambitions with that of my family needs. The whole 9-5 is not for me, and as an officer it appears there is a fair amount of that, correct? So...can I choose to not leave a team? Again, all hypothetical and purely informational...maybe it will save another wet behind the ears cadet some time. I guess what I am asking is how can I keep my boots dirty as an officer?
Team Sergeant please forgive my follow up questions as time is short and I am packing up my apartment for DC and these questions have been nagging a while and as much as I would like to devour the site and read, this appears to be the path of least resistance.
Thank you all again and the PMs are much appreciated.
