Well now, the Colonel is a military man ja ? You will understand him and his ways ja ? (A quote from one of my old Battletech novels

)

Field grade officers do not take to stupidity very well, even when it's light hearted stupidity.

You'll see BR, i GUARANTEE IT.

I HIGHLY doubt field grades in the IDF would enjoy your comments much either.

Yeah, but I'm not in yet, and OOE isn't in my chain-of-command. Besides, An offiver's got to be on good terms with the men under him, listen to them, respect them, etc... If not they can get quite lethal (In a a fun sort of way). I've heard the stories and seen pictures

BR,

Be advised that senior officers can make life alot more miserable than the other way around. I've been in a long time. This old war dog knows more tricks than a new borned pup would ever will and plus, I've got the Sgt Maj on my side. I'm the one signing the cheques.

Forget it Colonel, he'll see for himself soon enough. :brick

Frankly, the Officer has to have the respect of the NCO's BR.

If the NCO's respect the Officer, the men WILL respect him, whether they want to or not...If the NCO's don't respect him, well, then he don't deserve respect anyway, lol.

And btw, the colonel may not be in your chain of command, but i am when you post on this board.

See, it says it right next to my screen name, "Moderator".

That means you won't talk any more **** about or to OOE.

AND SNAP TO PARADE REST WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU PRIVATE!!!!!

LOL, the good ole' days.

**TopHatter** · 09-17-2003, 10:33 AM

Now gentleman, I'm sure BR's heart is in the right place, his enthusiasm just a bit exuberant. I'm sure we were all that way at his age. In my case, I still am. However, we won't talk about that.

I'll have to remember that one.
Just hung a retired Army Engineer out to dry Monday night. For a comment he made about three weeks ago, and I had to bide my time to remind him what he said.

I'll have to try that line about Parade rest on him. To see if his 30+ years of Army Enlistment are still as with him as he says.

**TopHatter** · 09-17-2003, 13:08 PM

Uh-oh, BR just made Captain....everybody take your best shot :LOL

bigross86 · 09-17-2003, 14:06 PM

SIR, YES SIR!!!!

**TopHatter** · 09-17-2003, 14:17 PM

I see someone found the font size buttons

bigross86 · 09-17-2003, 14:20 PM

Hey, if Snipe's gonna be yelling at me as a senior officer, than I got to yell back with all my strength, don't I?

2DREZQ · 09-17-2003, 15:13 PM

I would never have made it in the military.

It's not the discipline...

It's not the deployments...

It's not the danger...

It's not even the lousy food and lack of logic...

IT'S THE D#MN ACRONYMS!! How in the world do know what anyone is saying, and how do you pronounce all that stuff?

BTW, I work in the medical field, give me a chance, and I'll overload you with acronyms.

**TopHatter** · 09-17-2003, 15:33 PM

There are several reasons why I never joined the service. It was somewhat because they took my beloved battleships out of service barely a year before I got out of high school. Mainly though I guess it's because I think too much (or so I've been told)

Anon · 09-17-2003, 17:21 PM

It's not for everyone, which to me is the primary reason the draft is so stupid.

A bad soldier is much worse than no soldier at all.

Anon · 09-17-2003, 17:26 PM

BTW, BR....don't call me sir, i work for a living.
