All I can say is...enjoy it while it lasts!
Is it still true that a senior Air Force NCO and a painted jackass have the same number of stripes? I was told this once, while on Liberty (Navy) and visiting Tijuana.
Maybe "Pain-ted ***" would be a good one.
If you complain a lot, they often give you a custom title...much as they did for me.
But you can PM Ouch, for instance, and complain. He's a pushover, and will probably give you whatever title you want-- Lieutenant.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I was surprised I got it before anyone else did
You took liberty to go to Tijuana? I heard you navy guys preferred to stay on the ship because the "entertainment" was better. It must have taken a pretty boring sea tour to lure you into the mexican entertainment capitol.
Oh I got it, just wanted to change the subject.Finally!
Also, I like the avatar. I haven't seen that in probably 20+ years. Is it Ultraman?

Hey Mods...just noticed that I am now a "1st Lt of Free Samples." However, Since I am a MSgt on Active Duty (USAF), I am sure you understand why I might find this particular nickname somewhat offensive. I sure would appreciate some "nickname adjustment."
Thanks
No - I have no idea why this is offensive. because of your job, the use of any military term is 'sacrosanct' and cannot be used in a humorous way?
Dude - get over it, and lighten up.
Are you saying that you work for a living?
Reminds me of my favorite aircraft squawk/signoff. It was a Navy exchange.
The pilot had written up: "relief tube too short."
The mechanic signed off: "checks OK by enlisted personnel."
Sounds like a good incentive to post a bit more and get a new titleI'll handle this one, Gunnar--- it's not the term-- it's the RANK...being a Lieutenant is about the worst possible thing to be-- but it's the best "excuse" for why things go wrong in the military.

"The Lieutenant was in charge of that detail, sir."
"The Lieutenant was supposed to have arranged for the transportation/meal/lodging, etc."
"The Lieutenant read the coordinates to us over the phone...I can't imagine how we got here."
"The Lieutenant pushed the wrong button."

Good on the Petty Officer who signed that MAF.
Try working on a Prowler.
NALCOMIS is full of em'!
