In the corps new 2nd lts have to check in with the sgtmaj every duty day. They say it's to familiarize themselves with senior enlisted staff but we all know it's to make sure they didn't get lost between the BOQ and the company area, as it is holy writ that boot lts can't find their own ass with both hands, GPS and a flashlight.In the combat arms jobs officers are pretty naive until they make Captain and most are about to become a Major when they finally have their crap together. It was odd the difference in being in Germany during the cold war and Korea after that though. In Germany the Captains relied on the First Sergeants mostly for direction while in Korea it seemed to be forced on the Captains to mostly make the decisions themselves. It led to some odd things at times in Korea.
