We have that, it's just optional. The results are mixed.

Edit: This is a cool thread idea and I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah I think it would just end up being a wash, some good and some not.

All those stupid shithead officers you've worked with? Probably still going to be stupid shitheads even if they had spent a few years enlisted first.

Prior enlisted experience also doesn't correlate to better fashion sense; the khakis, polos and and loafers will somehow make it into their wardrobe.

I do see value in having all officers go through their branches basic training though. A shared entry experience into the military and a better appreciation for the experience and knowledge of the junior Soldiers and NCOs they will soon be leading.
