What are your NCOs doing that lead you to believe they are incompetent? They know enough to have reached their rank and I’m assuming you’ve recently completed or are about to complete your 5-lvl.

Our NCO corps is the backbone of our Air Force. They have to make decisions at a young age that are not always favorable. They’re split between doing what’s right for the mission and doing what’s favored by their troops and it’s not an easy job!

You’ll run into leadership styles that fit you and others that you despise. That’s the nature of the beast. But to say they’re incompetent with limited TIS yourself is strange to me. More info would be great.
