Welcome friend, to the ranks of the non-coms! You'll find privileges and pay here about equal to a detainee. Your continued input, however, is quite valuable and desired for the common good. My wish is thay you have many years of service remaining.

I would have been a Sgt. by now but I lost a couple hundred in my post count when Mike made the big switch. What is it they say about stripes? "Easy come easy go."
Now, now at least you didn't lose your stripes for some legitimate reason... like stealing all of the Colonel's whiskey and redistributing it to the men.
