What kind of job do you have?
When I was in the Army, 69-70 in RVN, I got promoted too, from E-3 to E-5 in short order and I did not want that at all as I didn't feel that I was good enough to be a squad leader and I hated the "Lifers" but they were the ones looking out for who was getting shit done and I didn't realize that I was the one doing most of the leading in my squad, I was just trying to take care of my friends, and hoping for the best.
It was not something I wanted as I knew I was as short term as I could make it, and so did the "Lifers", and I just wanted out of that Lash up and go home as best I could.
Looking back on it all now, many years later, and going to Reunions and talking to those I served with, I realize those "Lifers" did the right thing, but I hated every second of me being an NCO. I don't think I was Leadership material, but I was what they had to work with.
My squad all came back to the "World" with 4 wounded, 2 unscathed, but I never had anyone killed, but it was close.
Some people are geared up to be leaders, and some are not, but they are still good people, they just don't want to lead but do so when it is down to nuts, bollts. and screws.
It is up to you but, never underestimate what the lower rank and file can do and don't let it go to your head that you are the Boss. I never did.
