In wartime you can move up quickly. My father made chief in six years.
Charlemagne, who united much of central and eastern Europe around 800 A.D., about 300 years after the western Roman Empire collapsed, called the elite warriors in his Palace Guard “Paladins.”
"Paladin" is originally derived from a Latin word that referred to high officials who directly served the Roman Emperor.
He also starred in Hec Ramsey. He did a great job there!
Yes, Hec Ramsey was an excellent series.
“Not hardly!”
Yes,that rank was not bad at all. I made E-3 with 4 yrs. service,with plenty of time in grade for E-4,but it was peacetime.
