Education plays a role in the leadership potential of a person, but the leadership of the training staff you received on your GMT for example has probably stuck with you througout your years.
I've worked with officers who were trained by very professional Snr NCO's and treat every Snr NCO they meet after that with respect for their trade knowledge and leadership. I've also worked with officers that were trained by cruel and ignorant Snr NCO's and treat every Snr NCO they meet after that with disregard and rudeness. It sure made my job harder as an SQMS to tell those officers to lay off and let me do my job.
It doesn't really matter if an officer has CFR'd or not - it's all in the way they were trained and treated when they first joined the mob that set the tone as to how to treat others.
Just an opinion.
