Yeah, but just think... you could afford another pack of wrigleys gum once you see it in your check.....

 

I know the feeling madhat I didn't do it for the pay I done for something bigger but even now the benifits ain't that great.

 

No longer Madhat, now TopHat.

You got what you earned, I would expect nothing less. All the best TopHat

 

Thanks buddy!

 

TopHat... love it.

Wish I thought of it first!

 

Technically, MSgts are called top... I'd be 1stHat...

 

In my branch, we get called "1st shirts"... never did figure that one. All my Army buddies call me "Top" though.

 

I don't get too wrapped up about that stuff. Whatever works is fine with me. Some folks treat it like a matter of life and death...

 

yeah, true that.

Gotta tell ya though, retired two years now and I don't miss it. Especially the 2 a.m. calls to get someone out of the brig.

 

ok, hospital roommate is Marine (Iraq) and proud, quiet service. he agrees, not the money or the uniform but the personal pride and perfect Corp singlesness he says. I just called him what I call you Madson (Topson?) a man among men. Clint eastwood has to look up.....
you can hear the confidence and love/pride in his voice....

sorry for the military life on your family. really hope this move has solid friends for the boys.....A is sooooo tough. amazing gal u got, might as well stick around....hope you get to ride that bike, enjoy!

wow. hope you don't have to learn any more ceremonies.

The "FEW"

because of statements like that. You didn't get to where you are because you just sat on your hind parts. I'm honored to know you just from this site and know the Oath and traditions are still being upheld.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice as well as your family.
if you are ever in the Northwest and need anything you have a brother here.

1sgt in Germany got so tired of that he ordered a room cleaned out and put a bar in there. He said the next one I have to get out of bed for is getting article 15 till I'm tired of writing

 

Mad, congrats!

 

So, one year later... it's been a serious ride. Seen some awesome stuff, done some awesome things. I'm earning my pay for sure.
