I was in and out in 2 hours. 2nd time I just kept my mouth shut until the end when they figured out I was a potential officer ( I was there for 6, if they didn&#39;t realize it I would&#39;ve been there longer) . We are not in at that point why the separation? or is it by design?

Quite amusing I thought, considering I'll soon be back as a private again, except in a different system.
