Getting ready to board in Korea. I’m too far in the back of the line.

Yes, I do. All the lower ranks should board before the Officers. That's the Infantry way. First in combat, last in the chow line.

I will say that part of being a grunt was ingrained in my mind by the time I commissioned. During my Engineer career, I once refused to attend a special dinner because they had extended our mission and the troops had at least another 24 hours on the job (did I mention in the middle of the Desert). I believe I was the only officer that refused, but you don't go to cantonment to a party while your men are still in the middle of an operation.
Besides, my MSGT father would have kicked by ass if he had heard that I left them.

Now putting the tall people at the front of the line would be great , that's done in in Platoon or squad formations by height which would put them in the front of a line anyway from a formation if You send in each squad one at a time. Do that in all line and at 6'2" I'm sure I'll be close to the front of the line that way.

It's the privilege of rank, Sir. Sort of like standing at the end of the line when entering the DFAC.

That depends on if it’s a military charter flight or a commercial flight. Commercial flight, 1st come 1st served.
