What does the “O” in N.C.O. stand for ?
“O” stands for officer but the highest rank attained by Kelley was Airmen First Class (A1C) before being demoted to Airman Basic as part of his court martial punishment. Shapiro did blow it and should issue a correction for his article.
Don't be an idiot.
Slang term is Officer, Airman or Sergeant. The real terms are Commissioned Officer, Non-Commissioned Officer, or Airman. The murderer was neither. He was an Airman.
