    LMAO okay guys we better stop this old guy stuff or I'll start telling you how Jesus was my squad leader....LOL. I like keeping the CW5 rank out of the comparison to this or that and just give us the perks...much easier to get along this way.....

    kinda the same for us, we just call all the E-9's by different versions of "master chief" our E-9 is a CMC (comand master chief) but his boss E-9 would be a Force master chief or fleet master chief. but i tend not to ever notice, if there is more than one E-9 in the room i'm in, i'm usually in the wrong room, or quickly find the exit......

    BTW if anyone in here has done any commisioning programs i'd be very interested in your "personal letter" because i'm working on mine.
