And did you actually believe it when the recruiter told you that you'd be an instant officer if you joined because of your degree? Damn, and you call OTHER people stupid?

A private in the infantry may have the same rank, but he needs different skills, less education, and he faces a lot more danger.
As for the instant officer thing, it does work that way over here. When you are admitted to the military academy, you instantly receive the lowest officer rank ("vaandrig").
