What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Well, from a former enlisted Army Infantry puke- I send you a big HOO-AHH! You go! I always hated officers that thought they were... Well, you know...

A quick anecdote that actually happened to me. I was having to get a Major to approve a leave form once (long story) but he wanted to know why I wanted to go on leave and I told him that my wife had just gotten her PhD and we wanted to go off for a couple weeks and celebrate. This Major's face just screwed up in the most awful expression of disbelief- eyes scrunched up, mouth open- and says "Your wife has a PhD? In what?" (emphasis his). I told him and the whole time he was signing my leave form he was just shaking his head- he couldn't believe an enlisted man could have a wife with a Dr title.

On that note, I'll also place this little update to this story, posted by yours truly just moments ago:

Shannon’s daughter arrested (Ft Bragg Murders- SF Major's Daughter)

Thanks for your support. I was beginning to wonder if there were anymore enlisted guys who were members.
In the spirit of war stories I am now obliged to share one with you. :-)

This is one of the major incidents that turned me against a career in the AF. I was in a flight training squadron at the time. We had a young female Sgt who was a fine, fine aircraft scheduler. Had been seeing a LT in another squadron since before either of them joined the AF. The day she came back to work from her honeymoon she was summoned to the commander's office. I can still quote you what the jerk LtCol told her. "You are no longer an enlisted person, you are an officer's wife. You will no longer conduct yourself as an enlisted person, you will conduct yourself as an officer's wife." Her question to me afterwards was "What? Does he think we eat with our hands or something?" The AF subsequently lost one of its finest aircraft schedulers. She was a real tribute to the uniform.

This was just one of many anti-enlisted examples I can give you from this same piece of dung. He went on to make his eagle too, all the while doing things such as ordering the downgrade of enlisted performance reports. Yes, I said ordering. I saw the written note. When I filed a complaint with the IG, the kiss-ass Capt the note was addressed to developed amnesia. I hope by now they both have their own special corner in hell being butthole b!tch to a bunch of stripe wearing demons with splintery little sluggers for penii.
