There's nothing quite like the exquisite emphasis and subtle stress that we can put on the word "Sir", when pointing out to a junior officer that they are doing something not only incorrectly, but foolishly wrong. They teach us that at SNCO school, did you know that? 😎
one thing you pick up quickly working in EOD where it's pretty much all SNCO and WO is what they're actually saying vs what the words mean. I settled on being the guy they'd follow out of curiosity.
I think I've seen one of your fitness assessments! "Captain Kelly's men would follow him to the ends of the earth, if only out of curiosity about what the hell would happen next."
its very important to know yourself.
