Rails Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the explanation, Old Man. I didn't realize Army pilots were NCOs . . . I just figured they were officers like the rest of the branches. (With all the Clancy books I've read, I'm surprised I didn't pick up on that.)

gewing Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Falkland Islands' Fears for a Russian-backed Invasion As I recall, Argentina gained control via an act of war and invasion, this would ordinarily make it a very bad example for Russia to cite in this argument, but lying and hypocrisy from Moscow are imo the standard. "The big lie" seems to be a favorite of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Air Force, Navy, and Marine pilots are officers, but Army pilots are NCOs. Not that warrant officers are paid badly, but rank is pretty central to the identity of a long-term military officer, and I can't imagine any of them would allow themselves to get busted down to enlisted. They'd quit first. A warrant officer is an officer, and not a commissioned officer, but I have never heard them referred to as "NCO." They are not enlisted. They occupy a third category falling between the seniormost enlisted ranks and juniormost commissioned ranks. Gen Con threatens the governor it will leave the state over Indiana's controversial SB 101 One of the things I wonder about - did anyone point out to those who agitated for and voted for this bill that if they make it legal for a, for example, Christian to refuse to sell their goods and services to someone based on their own beliefs, it would also be legal if that same Christian finds himself refused service based on someone else's beliefs? Lucius Alexander I could refuse to sell a palindromedary to a Christian, but then again, how many Christians want a palindromedary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
