Quite true.. about rising star and all.
Or one who wants to command but can't do a normal at home, or get an
appointment to the military academy or like, but still thinks they can
command, so they take a commission to command the "Prison Regiment" and then
yes if they do well, and survive they may get a commission is more regular
forces.
Or to get out of a Slam, such as the ones in Riddick, especially when faced
with the Necormonger invasion/conversion, people get desperate and may
forgive/forget or let slide old issues to fight a greater enemy?
Been talking about ways to take a Sci-Fi movie/show and do it in a Traveller
universe or something like. Riddick being one of the challenges or ideas or
.. how far to push things and not go there? I know some of the first movie
is not to ... or is it? I know by the last movies with the Necromongers and
all, they limits of Traveller have been exceeded? yes!

Or how many corporals would have not become brutal dictators had they been
given a commission? I know of a couple. 4-20 is one, also one of the leaders
in the civil war in Sierre Leone c.1990.

John replied to me:
If this is part of an army that is otherwise normal, the officers will
be misfits; the ones who last in this job will be talented misfits.
Or rising stars who want a combat tour on their record before they
go back to the fashionable regiments near the capital high society.
