Q: So Sergeant Major, when you give an order to one of the E4s that work for you and it isn’t obeyed, are you proud of them?
E4’s are a special class of enlisted. There are all kinds of jokes and memes about the Spec-4 Mafia. The theoretical E-4 would magically know the Sergeant Major’s order before it came out of his mouth and so avoid the consequences before-the-fact.
