    I was at Ft Drum today. As I was approaching the PX an E-8 said " Hello Sir" I replied that I am an NCO.
    He replied "Your WERE an NCO" I then said - "I still am!"

    So Vets - what say you

    Not a bad motto!

    But that stupid "An Army of One" was the worse

    So was this E-8 All he could be!

    This got me thinking.....an officer who leaves the military resigns his commission. Is he still an officer?

    The difference here is that NCO's work for a living. When we leave service we still have to work for a living. :Biggrin
