Leadership is not branch specific.

You'll do just fine IF you decide to try-out/come over...Parker should be retired by then. 
Any extra skills brought to the table will get employed.
Stay safe.

One of the 2 captains in my Robin Sage class was finance. He ran circles around the Armor Captain when it came to leadership and common sense. To use a popular quote, "it isn't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" so to speak.
However, as previously said, bpt answer all the crazy questions about money if you get to a team (from your detachment, the others in the company, and probably every one else).

Were his His initials H. Mc N.?? (5th Gp?) 84-86 time frame? He ended up being my company commander, a great guy! He enjoyed telling people he was former finance.

Absolutely. Nor is it grade, age, gender, race, religion, height, nor weight specific. Not sure about eye color Basically, it is up to you to decide if you have what it takes to do the job-no one here can do that for you.
