I was also a 2nd Lieutenant, and I understand it, from an NCO's viewpoint.

Uh, betting still lost even with a compass, star chart, 2 maps and Google Earth. (But hey, it was a fun week out in the field, right?)

My other half was a SP5(T), 5th Cav., in Vietnam and Second "Lieuies" were not too popular.

I was teamed up with one for about a year doing recon missions just the two of us.
I kept him alive.
Sadly, after I was assigned to another continent he was killed 3 months later.
Very sad as he had a wife and kids and I still think of him as we got along quite well.

If I learned anything in the Army, it was the two most dangerous things are a trainee with a loaded gun and a 2nd louie with a map.

When my father, who was a Master Sergeant in the Army, pinned my gold bar on me he gave me a slight slap across the cheek and said "I always wanted to slap a second lieutenant." I replied you better never do that again Sargeant.

My Dad was a Sergeant in the Army and when I was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps he told me took make sure I picked the right people to listen to. I made a habit of doing that throughout my brief “career”.
On my last day of active duty, my Company First Sgt and I saluted each other, shook hands and he said: “Wish you were stickin’ around, Sir.” Best compliment I’ve ever received.
