How do I make myself not stand out? I don't want to volunteer, but I'm so scared that I'll be volunTOLD because of my short height of 5'3"... I'm already an E3 and would rather have someone else get a chance to be promoted.

I have you beat with the height, I'll certainly stand out at the wee height of 5'0. I'm already an E-3 as well (yay!) so someone else getting promoted makes more sense; I originally wanted to volunteer too but have heard mixed stories about it such as don't let them know you play an instrument/sing...I am guessing it is over all more personal choice...my main thing is making sure I pass the swim testl I can tread water like anthing, and I can swim to some degree but I am by NO means an swim team champ...
