During the time I worked in that position I was one office removed from COMFRC, which was the Flag I generally reported to via my CO (who was the one who put me in that position and was highly supportive, and who ended up as COMFRC in later years). Anything that was directly interfacing with that office was great; as soon as I was detailed to do something downline from that office it got painful despite reporting to that Flag. I wasn't in a position to go higher without spending more time in the service, and that was a non-starter for me.
