So you got out just at the point where the JR enlisted might actually listen to you. ![Tongue :P](http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
Actually never had issues with most of the officers I dealt/deal with.
Did 7 years as a (Reserve) O-3. Lots of Staff weenie time (ass't S-3, S-1, and S-4) along with 2+ years of command time.
Good officers listen to their NCO's and follow their advice/recommendations most of the time. (I did have a couple of NCO's (2, in fact) that were pretty worthless.)
