Grade like rank? or grade like school grade? I'm a Corporal in the reserves, but I'm technically a cadet, because I'm doing senior level ROTC in college so I can get out as an Officer,But I've done basic training, I go on field exercises with my reserve unit, the whole 9 yards

Hey, an extra 12 grand a year just starting out is plenty of incentive, its taken me three years to get to E-4, another year in college to get my butter bar and im getting bumped up to the tune of 35k a year.lol, and no, if I ever started getting high and mighty, my mentor would likely kick the shit out of me in front of my entire platoon

Meh, when I'm on the field doing army stuff, I carry 2 canteens each holding about a quart, neither of which are particularly heavy or burdensome at all. So at any one time I'm carrying half a gallon, I imagine that would be enough to do some basic, emergency maneuvers, or like... make a water whip.Edit: I think half a gallon is only something like 4 pounds

Haha, it wouldn't take you so long to get promoted if you'd join the army. I'm a five year E-6 and still spent two years in the reserves before going active, though I'm in a notoriously quick promoting MOS. But still, get as much specialized training as you can before you commission, especially if your current MOS is related to the branch you want to get into as an officer. (I'm sure you've heard this about a billion times before, but I couldn't help it.) Oh, and I like the way your mentor thinks. :D
