I think most of the CTOs are a bit underpaid. They work long hours, tons of weekends, and have 24 hour duty shifts. It would be a very rewarding job from the standpoint that you have the opportunity to mentor and develop young people on a daily basis, but they put up with a whole lot of BS.
I'm just curious how many of these retired-from AD CTCs are there?
I expected most of the Commandant's staff to be in this AD-retired/State employee category. My memory from the early 1980s however, is that most of the Company-level bulls were AD officers assigned to the Services' PMS/PAS/PNS?
Please note that I have no problem with this concept. It may be more cost-effective and provide seriously experienced cadre to better shape cadets.
Each major unit has a CTO that is retired or former military and works for the OOC. Every company has a military advisor which is a member of the ROTC department and doesn't really do much of anything (YMMV but I only met my company's military advisor one time when he came to Duncan for dinner with us- others may have been more involved).
