#1 "Where has your unit been?"
"Training, sir!"
"What kind of training, son?"
"A-a-a-army training, sir!"
"Where's your sergeant?"
"Blown up, Sir!"

#5 This really isn't that big a deal. I filled a Major's slot for 11 months in Germany as an E-5, and a Captain's position for over a year as an E-6. I know at least 30 other NCOs that have filled officer positions, including one E-7 that filled a full colonel's position for eight months during a deployment. The colonel was hospitalized with medical problems, and it was almost a year before he was medically retired and replaced. It's not easy, and it's not fun, but it's also not impossible.
