much good is said here...

It almost would seem that not much has been missed here and it hasn't. Great posts and many very good points.
Just as we no longer have the Lts as XOs we, the 18As must become team members without the old initial influences.
I just want to reinforce the become a team member. Once a person becomes a "Team Member" he tends to remain one for the rest of his career regardless of assignments.
To me the "easiest" job a Captain can have in the army is a Team Leader. Placed at the head of a highly functional unit with mostly senior NCO professionals. Just assist with keeping the goal orientation and personalities in check.
The Brain trust an 18A is provided can only be a great benefit to professional development.
Just my Zwei centavos.
