so just fukk my 21 years
no E9 and any branch is standing for a 2LT and if that 2LT tried that bs I can almost guarantee you that it will not go how the young Lieutenant expects.
but most know this in fact they aren’t messing with any senior enlisted like that.
I remember I had an incident with a 1LT at a gunnery once he was an XO for our Apache Troop. His own commander chewed him.
customs and courtesies is one thing. But they generally learn how to maneuver around. Most of my BOLC students already knew not to mess with their NCOs. Quick way to lose respect of your personnel.
