Who is running our military?
IF PC must rule, how about "Bring me the best" or "Bring me warriors"?
Wow! Sometimes you just never know who Freepers really are.
"former SAC aircraft commander"
Thank you for your service. I could only dream about going to the academy.
This E6 salutes you sir.
LCWB - hi from "Just Passin Thru" ('77)
E6.....well let me tell you, my dad retired as a USAF Master Sergeant with 14 years time in grade. That's right; he made Master in SIX years flat; joined up just after WWII. Not bad for a high school dropout from the sticks (literally) of Mississippi. Think that may still be a record today; he was the youngest MSgt. in AF history.
My mom was Army enlisted. My older brother was Navy enlisted. My younger brother was USAF enlisted. My wife as USAF enlisted (former SSgt.). I was the first officer (and college grad, for that matter) in my family; my oldest son is a recent college grad and 2nd Lt. in the US Army, about to start Ranger training very, very shortly.
As much as I appreciate your kind words, I salute YOU. NCO's are and truly always have been the backbone of the US military.
From one '77 grad to another.......good to see ya, guy. 37th Smilers. Gnu dorm. Sixth floor.
I sewed on E6 in 8 years. 13 was the average.
I feel like that was somewhat of an accomplishment but not a booger fleck compared to some of the Vets on FR.
My deepest respect will always be for the WWII Veterans.
E6 in eight........that kicks ass. Proves once again that FReepers are one hell of an over-achieving lot. Proud to know ya.
Excellent!
A $100,000 education, shoved up your [nose] $5 at a time.
"Bring me Warriors" sounds good to me!
(Lucky dog, please don't bite me on this thread!!)
Pukin Dog, what kind of wimmin are you lookin' for? Lol!
Are you picky? Hahaha!!!
