To Become an Officer?

The chapter is set in January 1958, the night of the first day of Field Artillery Officer Candidate School (FA-OCS), at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, when John Shalikashvili is considering quitting, given the insanity of the program. The chapter explains how he joined the US military through the “peacetime draft” as well as why, despite not desiring a career in the military, the call of the family business is motivating him, as it did his brother Othar Joseph Shalikashvili before him, to prove he can measure up to his ancestors, particularly his father, whom he greatly admires, by becoming an officer.

The Crucible of OCS

The chapter is set at Field Artillery Officer Candidate School (FA-OCS) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in July 1958, shortly after John Shalikashvili graduated with distinction. Told through the eyes of Roger O’Dwyer, an OCS classmate in the cycle after Shalikashvili, the chapter reveals how the school at this time was home to the worst institutionalized hazing in army history (including rigorous Jark Marches), and traces how Shalikashvili went against the grain of OCS norms to quietly help others graduate from the program. It both signals the first turning point in Shalikashvili’s transition from struggling refugee boy to serious adult as well as marks his officially becoming an officer in the US Army—the first major step down the path to the chairmanship.

A Strategic Yes

Returning to the eve of the first day of Field Artillery Officer Candidate School (FA-OCS) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma on January 1958, the chapter explains how John Shalikashvili, strategic by nature and aware of his poor academic and civilian job performances (Bradley University and Hyster Lift Company, respectively), decides to stick it out at OCS. It also overviews the impact that Donna Bechtold’s betrayal—leaving Peoria without a word—had on him, as well as the blow struck by another woman, someone back in Germany he’d turned to courting after Bechtold left.
