I once saw a SMA dressdown an O-7 General for him cutting some troops to the front of the line because he needed a tent put up while my unit had a hot mission on-going for the past 20 hours, first time I had ever seen that, gave me even more respect for Sergeant Majors. As far as a CWO's go I always was respectful and treated them like an officer.
That's was one weak O7. I hope he didn't make two stars.
If you saw that you witnessed something that probably no one else on the face of the earth has seen. Lucky you!!~
