The Musings of Chief: My favorite part of being on a FOS with an IN BN is seeing all the Privates sneaking looks at me and nudging their buddies to check out the random CW3 walking around or in line at the DFAC.

The Musings of Chief: I got called 'Highly Decorated' by the CW3 AMO at our SQDN Ball.
I'm not. I've served where I've been sent, and done what was asked of me. I didn't hunt for, or hide from, missions. The ASU is just a flex and I'm over it right now. On to the next mission.
