This is for commissied officers what is the disadvantages and advantages of being a comissioned officer?
549917
Advantages: Better pay, more privileges, more responsibilities, higher rank lets you avoid some of the nonsense that enlisted troops are stuck doing (mostly because of some other nutty commissioned officers `brilliant' plan).\n\nDisadvantages: More political crap to deal with, higher conduct expectations, more likely to have life unfavorably shaped by one bad superior, but the worst thing is that, other than your lieutenant time, you won't have the same immediate connection with troops. As a noncom, you'd be intimately involved with Soldiers on a daily basis, mentoring, teaching, and molding. As an officer, you'll have troop time as a platoon leader, and company commander, but the rest of the time you'll likely be in staff position somewhere.\n\nAnyway, congratulations on your decision to join. If I could give you just one piece of advice, it would be to look out for the interest of your troops before you look out for your own interests. The day you stop caring is the day you are no longer an effective leader.

There are no real contraindications as long as you have completed training and signed off competencies.  However, all these extended roles and additional responsibilities - for what reward?

Advantage, your an officer, and thus your not the grunt running into enemy machine gun nests, You get paid more, and there are a ton of opprotunities to advance. Not to mention your marketability when you get out of the service. \nDisadvantage, well, you are the guy who sends other men off to die sometimes. There are hard calls to make, and you gotta make 'em. You have to set the example for others to follow. Lot of weight for a guy or girl in their 20's to carry. The training is hard, the hours are long, and there isn't any thanks or glory. \n My opinion?  Do it.

True but it's not so much civil service employees as it is politicians. That being said, government employees enjoy the same benefits people who work for other companies get. When you're affiliated with something, you get perks that the general public would not. Pepsi employees get free soda, Gap employees get a discount off their clothes, cable company employees get free cable and Internet, etc. That's the way of the world. People let stuff like this get by all the time without saying anything. That's what needs to be changed. Not the perks... you know what I mean!

The major advantages are that there an unlimited number of members allowed, there is generally no personal liability of the members, the entity is not taxed (profits and losses are passed through to the members), ease in filing with the states, and it is generally run through a Manager, rather than a board of directors (great for small companies or one that you wish to be similar to a closely-held corporation)

With the Officer Corps this is a much different issue. They view this as a self-control problem. If you are a current Officer - this would yield a minimum General Officer Letter of Reprimand and would tail spin your career. You can speak to a recruiter, but I think you are in for a ruff ride. It is possible - but there are going to be lots of hoops to get through to obtain the waiver you will need.

They receive a warrant granting them authority from the Secretary of Defense, but are not granted a commission by the Senate of the United States.  Except in the Navy, they are specialty officers.  In the Navy they actually hold command positions within a ship.

They are the backbone of the USMC.  The Noncommisioned and Staff Noncomissioned Officers are the major movers and shakers of the Marines (and every other military service).\n\nThey are the ones who actually run the Corps.  The Officers give the orders, but the NCOs make sure they are carried out, supervise the performance of those duties, and take care of the men.  They are the mothers, and are entrusted with the care of 4-40 men and women entrusted to their care.\n\nAnd because every one has "risen through the ranks", they know what it is like to be in the "Enlisted" ranks.  Most will bend over backwards to take on a challenge, if nothing else to show that they (and the people under them) are up to the challenge.\n\nBut just like any other group, you will always have "bad apples".  You will have the slackers and shirkers.  But the vast majority of them are dependable and can be trusted to do what needs to be done.

no such thing as an enlisted military officer.   and the only way to find out is if you are a immediate relative and have some legitimate need to know.  you would also need a great deal of personal information, such as their Social Secuirty Number, full name and last known duty station.    Without any of that information, you will be unabel to secure the knowledge you seek.  PERSEC is very important, and they will not just hand out names and locations willy nilly.

difficulties: additional responsibilties, taxes, and working\nBenefits: freedom, the power to effectively make a difference, greater respect from other adults\n(somehow benefits was harder for me to answer:-P)

Actually, there is only a specific article pertaining to commissioned officers criticizing the President at any time (Article 88 of the UCMJ - Contempt toward Officials).  It must be PERSONALLY contemptuous to be chargeable, during any kind of public or private communication.  Criticizing "Republicans as a whole are incompetent" or "The Bush Administration sucks donkey balls" is fully permissable, but criticizing any elected or presidentially appointed official or governing body by name is forbidden, like "George W. Bush is a jackass" or "Congress is totally incompetent", etc.  During a legitimate classroom or debate situation, anything against anyone can be said no matter how emphatically spoken (this specific defense is spelled out further down in article 88).\n\nSpecific members of an enlisted soldier's chain of command can also not be criticized or insulted IN PERSON (Article 89 - Disrespect toward a Superior Commissioned Officer or Article 117 - Mooning Your Commander).  So long as your private speech does not "incite insubordination" among your peers, it is permissable to say what you want in private as an enlisted soldier, so long as you still follow orders to their fullest capacity and don't punch anybody out (Article 90 - Assaulting or Willfully Disobeying a Commissioned Officer).

The only real way to tell which is advantageous is to do a mathematical comparison of specific plans.  But since most people do not have the knowledge to do this, here are some general guidelines:\n\nDefined Benefit is generally better for the employee.  The company pays for most or all of it.  It is usually especially good for older employees who have accumulated a lot of service with the company.\n\nDefined contribution is generally cheaper for the company, but gives the company less flexibility in making contributions and managing the money in the plan.  It is also often better for younger employees with less accumulated service.  All else being equal, you are better off with this because you get to control how your money is invested in the plan.  But because of this, most companies give you less money in a defined contribution plan over time than they would give you in a defined benefit plan.\n\nIf you are looking for a job and comparing benefits, I would suggest that defined benefit is usually a sign of a stronger benefits package.  However, keep in mind that most defined benefit blans have been terminated or converted to defined contribution and there is no guarantee that a plan in place today will be there tomorrow.

Pros: \n-A sense of pride and purpose to your life. No matter what your role, you're making a real contribution. \n-A chance to train for a career that may transfer to civilian life\n-A chance to get an education for free\n-A real resume builder, especially if you do well, get promoted, and also get a college degree\n-Cameraderie and friendship\n-Respect for your service by most civilians. Again, resume builder!\n-Steady pay check\n-There may be travel. My dad was stationed in Germany and in Greece, and he got to tourist around a bit. \n\nAnd for those who aren't sure about where their life is headed, or who are drifting, it will give your life focus. \n\nCons: \n-A lack of freedom. You can't do what you want, when you want to. \n-Having to follow orders\n-Being seen, by some civilians, as the mouthpiece of the US government and its policies\n-A lack of understanding, by employers, of what your role equates to in civilian life, once you separate from the service and try to get a civilian job.\n-A "boy's club" type of environment. Sexism and homophobia are more overt than in many civilian careers, although this is constantly evolving.\n-Low pay\n-Stress on family life due to moves and deployments\n-Risk of death and serious injury

Some of the advantages are...\n\n1) They catch logic bugs you were not aware of (desk checking)\n2) They tackle a problem in different ways, some might be better than you implemented it.\n3) They can help make sure the system is closely following the requirements\n4) It can help garner some much needed "buy in" from others\n\nDisadvantages are...\n\n1) Conflicting opinions as to how things should be done\n2) Classic arguments\n3) If the committee is too picky about things, it can slow development to a crawl\n4) They discuss everything and very little action is actually accomplished\n\nSo in summary they are good for giving fresh perspectives about code leading to better written code and less overall bugs, but if they don't handle themselves totally professionally they can also slow the process leading to disagreements and hostilities as well as wasting budget money. You might have heard something along the lines of "Too many cooks in the kitchen"\n\nHope that helps you out.

One advantage is the creation of a separate legal entity, meaning that the individual shareholder(s) isn't liable for the corporation's debts.  A major disadvantage is the whole double-taxation thing--the corporation pays corporate income tax while the shareholder pays tax on dividends received from the corporation.
