JASmith,
In Russia, they have a little saying about this:
An excited Colonel's son who is getting ready for officer training asks him:
"Father, after service as a Lieutenant, will I be a Captain?"
"Yes, of course you'll be a Captain."
"Father, if I do well, will I then be a Major?"
"Yes of course, you'll become a Major.
"And a Colonel...?"
"Yes, even a Colonel one day."
"Father, could I then become...a General?"
Sadly, the father replied..."No son. You will NOT become a General..."
"And why not father?"
"The Generals have sons too, young lad."
