Hey, I made E-4 twice in 4 years in the Air Force that should have made me an E-8 but it didn't.

It was called A/1C in those days which should tell you how ancient I am.

I made that idiotic, moronic, troll comment in jest, hoping someone would see the humor in it.

I only made E-4 once, a month after they changed it from Sergeant to Senior Airman. They argued that I wasn't qualified for it because I hadn't gotten my 5-level certification as a photographer, and tried to ignore the fact that I had made it as an aircraft mechanic before I wrecked my knees and had to retrain. Took me another year (me and about 10-15,000 others) to make Sgt. Late 70's? Something like that. By then we'd become a little less like the Army. One of my HS buddies had enlisted in the Army, and told me they were busting people whose shoes weren't shined satisfactorily at the end of the day. (In the USAF, they might bust you if they weren't shined properly at the beginning of the day, but they did know what they had done to you that day...)

I figured you'd have a sense of humor about it, but I've figured wrong once in a while, too. Thanks! Have a happy and blessed Easter!
