Techinically a Staff Sergeant is an officer without a commmission. Staff Sergeant is a rank within the Non Commissioned Officer Corps. I realise this is splitting hairs but technically a Staff Sergeant is an officer sans commission.
Amongst NCOs the phrase was "It didn't take an act of congress to make me gentleman>"
