Commissioning officers in our armed services

People with enlisted experience make better officers.

If I am elected, I will seek every opportunity to guide the armed services to expand their opportunities for enlisted people to pursue commissions.

As a Senator, I would have the privilege to appoint a number of people to the service academies, and I will use that privilege to appoint only enlisted personnel who come from my State.

Amen, Fuz! In fact -- I would require all officers to serve at least two years in the enlisted ranks PRIOR to being commissioned.
