I retired 1 year ago. 24 Years US Army. I cooked grits, changed light bulbs, and made scrambled eggs. I serve as a DAC now.

Ah cool. I owe some army cooks. A few took care of me in Sinjar in Iraq on my second tour. It was such a pain to get Soda out there.

I thought you just said you were a cook?

lol. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

So what did you retire as? And what unit? I got attached to an army unit during my first tour. They were out of Germany I think.

1SG/E-8. I cooked peoples brains, turned off their light bulb, and made scrambled eggs with velocity. The T box is on a persons face, eyes and nose. I served in many different units.

In OIF, I did some operations with some shooters and spotters from the 1st MEF. They were a lot of fun. We sat on a target for 3 days before we got some action.

Ah cool. I always loved seeing our boot Marines get tripped up on what to call a SFC.

"Yes, Firs... uh... Sergeant first Cl.... uh..." *confused look*.

so funny.

I just told my USMC shooters to say Sergeant unless it shined, then say Sir/Ma'am. If something was in the middle of all the stripes just say Sergeant Major. If they are a lower rank they will just tell you. Most the time when I worked with Marines, we spent out of the wire. We never had to worry about ranks. We tried to stay in houses and self support.
It was nicknames on internal and callsigns on the net. The Marine Scout/Sniper is highly trained and a joy to work with.
Rest in Peace
