[Milsurplus] Oddball question

[Ray, W2EC]

Regarding serialization, there may have been a separate group of numbers 
for enlisted vs commissioned. I had one serial number as an EM and after 
completing OCS, was discharged as an EM, giving up that serial number 
and obtained a new serial number as an officer. I don't know if it is a 
coincidence or not but a few of us in my class compared serial numbers 
and although not sequential, they all started with 0. Any officers out 
there, did your serial number start with 0 or was just this a strange 
coincidence?
