    Understood, but in all fairness this is a military group... not a PC group. Just saying. I think most military people understand what my point was.

    Actually, this is the the part of the general forum where people ask for help with site issues.

    Just realized that. Can this thread be moved to the military group?

    Nope you only count as the last ranked attained... which is usually the highest unless someone did something unbecoming. So chalk one up for the Commissioned.

    I know but it's fun to laugh about it. My soldiers joke sometimes for me to take off my NCO hat. It's different as I have a level of respect that other officers don't have. I've been there, I don't play games....

    Yeah the only problem I've ever seen with NCO's becoming Officers is them reverting back to NCO mode on things that really should be left to their subordinates.
