    Commander in Chief :notsure:

    Technically only Commander In Chief in the times that Congress has declared war. Something many of us have picked up on over the last few years, but that is not a political statement.

    Congrats! Mine has stayed the same for the last 20 years now. Retired. Or maybe the Ret. should stand for retarded because I am still working :pout:

    Poll has O-5+

    The Plus infers anything above the rank of O-5. That would include the Commander in Chief.

    *above.

    Also the presumed intent is O5+ means commissioned officers serving at the pleasure of the President of the United States. Commander in Chief is by appointment and not really applicable in that sense.

    Finally got the Fed Rec back on my promotion to CW5. My poll vote still works since we're all lumped together.

    I'm Army, so while a bit rare there's still quite a few. Must be extremely rare on the Navy side!

    We all started at the bottom. Or most of us anyway. I did know a couple of surgeons who came in as LTCs. I've been blessed to hold 10 different ranks in my career. It might not have been a lot of fun at the bottom sometimes, but that's where all my best stories come from.
