Hey I'm not calling you out, I didn't serve.
Sorry, I didn't intend you to think I was. The post was a point of clarification on officer requirements for the US military precisely because you didn't serve. The requirements changed over time and, yes, they've changed back a bit at times.
If you want to read a good book, trying Robert Mason's "Chickenhawk" about a young kid who took the WO route and ended up flying in Vietnam.
It has a surprise ending.
