<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I loved being a Specialist. Was high enough to not get messed with too much but low enough to not have a lot of responsibility. It was a sad day when I traded my sham shield for Corporal stripes.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Help me understand the question, are you saying if I was a specialist would I feel better as a corporal?

It made me sad to learn the truth about this; however, I am a leader in civilian life. Also, I was a Squad Leader as an SPC 4.<br /> I am not sad about this anymore.
