Defense Secretary Ash Carter wants to open the door for more “lateral entry” into the military's upper ranks, clearing the way for lifelong civilians with vital skills and strong résumés to enter the officer corps as high as the O-6 paygrade. The idea is controversial, to say the very least. For many in the rank-and-file military, it seems absurd, a bewildering cultural change that threatens to upend many assumptions about military life and traditional career paths. But while it's not universally embraced, there is interest in Congress and among some of the military's uniformed leaders — even, they say, in exploring how the services could apply this concept to the enlisted force. ... However, this raises another set of issues that'll need to be addressed. For instance, the military's current pay structure would offer significantly less to a colonel or a captain with one year of service versus one with 20 or more. And the military retirement system does not offer much in exchange for only short-term service. Poster Comment: I would love to know what RedLegHunter has to say about this.

So, Col, what think ye, Will the E-7's and O-3s call him sir or frag him? Elected and unelected Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
Basics, such as how to wear a uniform or knowing whom to salute, could prove confounding for midcareer civilians wooed into military service, critics of the plan argue.

He's an idiot. Someone needs to tell him that we have a DA Civil servants for such high demand tech positions. Has been working for a number of years now. No need to commission or enlist someone to do the job a DA or DoD civilian can do.
Is Defense Secretary Ash Carter really this stupid ?
Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
I agree and that is pretty much what I figured, now comes the thought provoker, Why do you think they are doing this? What do you think the real goal is? Elected and unelected Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
Nope. The question is what are their real goals, other than destroying the US Military. Hint, they have been real successful in dumbing down the educations system. Elected and unelected Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
So they can put incompetent people in leadership positions.
I don't think so, I think it is to get rid of the Academies. I think it is also to reduce esprit decorp I also think it is to be used in as an example for Common Core to get rid of 'teachers' and replace them with facilitators with less education in education and more in a specific occupation. Follow the logic of obama's 'Fundamentally change the United States'. If I am right, you youngsters are going to have a new war on your hands. Elected and unelected Bureaucrats, leeches, and cockroaches are all part of the same family in the animal kingdom.
