An alpha does what's necessary. Doing what you need to do (such as taking an order and doing your job) is not always beta (though, for some, taking orders and being a worker bee is indeed beta and their natural state). On the other hand, being recalcitrant, obstinate, or too proud to take an order is not necessarily an alpha trait, if that's what you're insinuating. A true alpha is a leader of self, first and foremost, and acts (and reacts) from a place of strength within self. If you're going to be a leader, you pay your dues, and do so knowing the top is your natural place. That doesn't have to entail butting heads with your superiors and enduring "terrible consequences."
That's just my own viewpoint, mind you. I am not forced to do a military stint, as you are, and am thankful for that. ;-)
