WWII artifact appraisal

Did my  time at the Benning School for Boys  some years ago.  Laerned how to swear at malfunctioning weapons and eat red dirt.  Back then, and it may be true today, an EM could NOT be busted below E-2  "E Duce".  A "Speedy Four" is, in officer  paralance, a Specialist 4th Class.  Retraining after the cofffee break was sometimes required.

For the officers?

The O-grades develop training evolutions and budgets. Senior NCOs run the Army. Ask any career officer how things get done. Charlie Mike. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Since the day I was discharged when meeting up with a former dog face I would usually ask if they were an officer or a Man.  Only knew a handful of officers that deserved respect back in the old Army.  Caliber is much higher today.

So officers are just lawyers and politicians in civilian life?

Some of the O grades, Monti, were rifle  platoon leaders.   Why don't you bag YOUR prejudice.

And some of them flew gunships.
