I know what you are saying. I could have stayed longer in the Military if it hadn't gotten so political. That is why I didn't try go gain any rank. I was tired of all the BS and all the know it alls higher up KNOWING how things needed to be ran (yeah right). No bragging, just stating a fact. That is why I was always getting called into work to handle a problem when a certain Major was on duty. Oh did I say I was only an E6 and he was an O4?
