TAC - Well you really are a Queen as well as having a pathetic sense of humour.
My knife may one day save my life in my sinking helicopter, indeed they have in the past. I dont see why I should alter my uniform just to keep some snotty nosed non comm happy.
and BTW, I dont give a toss what you do with your 9mm, if it was mine I'd take that along as well.
I still firmly believe that other ranks should be gently reminded now and again about being respectful to Officers; this includes SNCOs i.e. Lets start this conversation again shall we, and this time lets realise that I am the Officer and you are the NCO.
With respect to all the decent hard working SNCOs who keep the Services running. Its just these jumped up ar$eholes I cant stand.
