<p>Well, I joined for two years, so I would have some leadership positions because I spend most of my time playing tennis and only seniors could be team captains on my team, so there was no leadership opportunity there. As far as the experience you’ll get, if you promote every two months exactly you can get to I believe Cadet Master Sergeant, which is high enough for some leadership positions. It all really depends on your local squadron. The one I joined was dying so I got thrown into the flight sergeant/logistics/scheduling/ pretty much everything position when I was a staff sergeant, only about 8 months after I joined. This gave me TONS of leadership experience. So my advice is check with your local squadron, chances are in six months or so you could be flight sergeant, which provides some pretty good experience</p>
