<p>Hey guys, what position is considered higher, and more impressive to colleges or other military schools?</p>
<p>Regimental Deputy Commander</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>Battalion Commander. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Battalion commander is the highest we had over at our unit…</p>
<p>Battalion would be because I do know that a Regiment goes into a Battalion. What schools you applying to? VMI? Citadel?</p>
<p>No no, you guys are misinformed. </p>
<p>A regiment = a division, which is commanded by a colonel (3 diamonds)</p>
<p>Regimental commander = colonel (commander’s position)</p>
<p>regimental deputy commander = LTC (2 diamonds) (not really a leadership position, but it is higher on the chain of command than battalion commander)</p>
<hr>
<p>Battalion Commander = LTC (2 diamonds) (Commander’s position)</p>
<p>They both have their ups and downs I guess… I want to know what looks better for colleges for say…</p>
<p>well I can’t say I’m misinformed, we’ve never had a regimental anything at our unit.</p>
<p>Anyway it’s probably what you’ve achieved with each position that counts the most.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>You didn’t have a regiment, because your jrotc program was small. Regiment is the largest.</p>
