   I was just curious do you have any kind of reference or link as I am a CS-02   
   and a reservist and everyone keeps talking about the cs's being the equivalent   
   to a officer.  I ask as I would be interested in receiving a commission but I   
   need some kind or    
   reference whether civ side or DOAD or QRO.   
      
   Any help you could provide would be great.  Thank you
