  1. who the hell actually uses TPC's? We should just dump the damn things and use sectionals.
  2. CRO go through the same school house that PJs do, training beyond that is unit specific. And in my experience, you're wrong in that CROs do everything PJs do. They do end up being the guy in charge on the ground vs. actually sticking people, but they're just as qualified as the PJs. my order would be CRO CCT/STO COMBAT WX/COMBAT COMM (tied) MX whatever my first choices are all tip of the spear types, then you get into MX, which is probably the most leadership intensive careerfield out there.
