I've read many posts from the Enlisted, but not one from those who've identified themselves as Majors, Colonels, Platoon Commanders, Battalion/Regimental Commanders, you know? I'm sure it's not only the Enlisted personnel that care for or need their Veterans' benefits, right? Let's see how this turns out... Were you an Officer or Enlisted? (Result) Officer Enlisted

Some officers don't identify themselves for several reasons: 1) Some Es really hate Os as a group. 2) Some Es think that when an O mentions his rank, he's saying I'm better than you, so it gets uncomfortable. 3) Some Os actually are assholes. 4) Some Es defer to Os TOO MUCH, causing other Es to hate the O. 5) Some Es defer to Os even after leaving the service which is just weird. Little Known Fact: You would think that famous WWII General Jimmy Doolittle would know something about leadership. He was a world famous aviation pioneer, a PhD from MIT, a MOH recipient who was promoted directly from LtCol to BGen after leading a carrier-based B-24 raid on Tokyo. He headed a commission concerning improving the Army Air Corps, and, among other things, recommended eliminating the hand salute off duty and getting rid of the words "officer" and "enlisted." The army totally rejected every one of Doolittle's recommendations. >Insert Witty Saying Here< Ozanam71, Bishop Hogan73, USN74, SERE, VQ1, Ranger75, Midway76, Coral Sea77, Constellation78, Kitty Hawk79, Atsugi80, UCF84, USAF85, Clark86, Taegu87, Osan88, Spangdahlem89, Ramstein91, Sheppard93, RET95, WWU04, MBA05, PMP08, VAMC09, ALS Widower 2011

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved package, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting: "GERONIMO!"
