capnq,

Darkhorse wasn't razzing mlmbd; mlmbd baselessly accused Darkhorse of copping an attitude. mlmbd also has yet to explain what prompted that outburst.

That is your opinion. And you are entitled to it.

FYI; First, this is where it started;

OK, Here is a list of NCO's (Non-Commissioned Officers; Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, Sergeant Major of the Army. Does that help?

Dark Horse's reply;

mlmbd - [Eek!] That may help, if you're in the army.

They use Army Ranks here. That is not right either. Naval ranks should be used. But hey, that is the way it is here!

Dark Horse's reply;

Which isn't right either since in the U.S. Military space belongs to the Air Force! hehe

That made it twice, before I said what I said.

*tired, Last post of the day*

mlmbd, I don't see any reason from what you've just posted that explains why you went ballistic at darkhorse.

Well, I'm off to sleep.

Oh, OK, I see where the problem came from then. I only interpret that smiley as "teasing", not an insult.

Must be an interservice rivalry or something. &ltshrug&gt

I guess I could think of a dozen other threads which would be less appropriate for my 400th post, though. (I think the top ten are taken by different incarnations of the shape-shifting name-changing thread.)

So when do my commission papers come from Shrapnel/Aaron?

Hi Krsqk, I just became a commissioned officer, too. Wow, it's a great feeling to be commissioned, huh? Cool! The sky is brighter, the air is sweeter, life is good! ... actually, it doesn't feel any different.
