They exist to help develop leadership abilities...he's in the military....you do what you are told
Do these matter at all? My kid called home and said some guy took him in am office and asked him to be the recruit yeoman and my kid told him no becuase he was already going to be an E3 and he didn't want to but he would be the EPO. So he is the EPO. Which is weird becuase the reason he joined the navy is becuase he was over college.
I told him he needs to figure out pretty quick if getting asked to do something in the Navy is like the real word where when you are asked it means you are doing it.
Recruits are chosen to fill these positions during Boot Camp. Some positions are for the duration of Basic....others may rotate so that more Recruits can get a taste of a leadership position. Note that the "Rank" is ONLY for the time of Basic and is surrendered at PIR!
