As i had previously stated, SISPEC is equilavent to secondary
school.
Really, the addition of the word "COMBAT" in front of
"officer/specialist" means you have to go through field exercises,
be on standby, go overseas for training/exchange/whatever, and a
whole lot of other things.
Tough? Yes. As a specialist, your supposed to know more than the
average serviceman and also do more.
The difference is mainly in the pay, and other matters... if you
really want to be a combatant?
