No, just call me Bayer, my last name... He's my superior, so he can also legally call me by my first name..
And no.. I'm not HORSE.. I was stationed w/ the 819th in Afghanistan for 8 months last year.

Not to bust your ***** but SSgt select is SrA= airman. I was still being called as an airman at the time until I put it on this past month. Its weird though being called Sgt Brice almost funny to me when I hear it. I'm like who??
Being an airman, their entitled to make mistakes (reasonable) and say I didn't know that. In NCO tier, man stratosphere high standards.

When other people in my shop were (S)Sgts, I (SrA) referred to them as Amn, Now that I am a select b!tches better call me STAFF SERGEANT SELECT!!!!!! lol, just kidding I don't expect anything other than Amn or SrA until i sew on. I graduate ALS on 13 Dec, can't wait to get back to normal. I'm doing my summative stuff right now.

^ Sorry, but I just don't like being called Airman unless I'm being formerly addressed. In my shop it's not a formal environment so you don't normally call someone by their rank unless you are addressing them. Like SSgt Snuffy for instance. Normally I address rank when they're E-5 or up.

I thought we were all airman so i can call the commander an airman...it's funny....sometimes i get called sgt and i don't know why. I'm an A1C. Sorry bout your shop it seems like I value any time I get off of work so maybe they are the same way. I don't do much to support the unit anymore.

Bayer, despite your current situation with your shop, I just want to say congrats on completing ALS. Ironically, I just graduated from ALS on Thursday. I didn't receive any awards but I could care less beacuse all that matters is that I graduated. I'm guessing I'll be sewing on around the same time that you do. Seeing as how your shop isn't the greatest, have you considered PCSing or apply for a special duty assignment?

I ended up calling a Tsgt (S) in my shop and told him what's up.. We're kind of buddy's anyway... But I told him what I told MSGT White (in front of our section commander too).. I apologized and asked him to tell Sgt White I apologized. I don't want to risk a possible UCMJ Art 92 Violation if someone want to make a stink about it.. Plus the LT was prolly shocked, and w/ him not being in that long, I don't think he quite knew what to say.. THey were both in uniform and I was laying into a MSGT... 
I think that's pretty ballsy as far as what I'm known for NOT doing.. I've never done that before and I think I just lost it. Work stress and reintegration, from seperation from work for so long..

I had a couple people telling me that I made it due to TIS, TIG, DECs and EPR's.. THen the results came out..
I studied my *** OFF for 6 months for that test!!! AND IT PAID OFF!!! He even went into the boss's office bitching about me.. "That MFR just sits at the Airfield shop all day and studies!!" They asked him if he studied, he said yes.. Which I KNOW he really didn't. I heard him say so.. THey told him that.. "Well, if you study and put forth the effort, you'll prolly make it."

I'm always multi-tasking. If I'm on the phone, my hands are usually busy doing something else, i.e., updating T.O's & Job Guides, finishing up an MFR, EPR, whatever.
As for the guys that spend their spare time at work twiddling their thumbs, watching t.v., at the smoke pit, playing cards, well they can sit and be the same rank for another year...

Your a SrA that has a problem with being called airman? Better yet, your a SrA that is about to graduate ALS and just layed into a MSgt? Good luck with your career AIRMAN.

I love ppl like this kid. Yet another reason why testing people on two seperate things, a stupid EPR system that allows for people to get pencil whipped Firewall 5's, etc. I seriously hope you are just kidding with some of the stuff you are hopefully just venting on here and didn't actually do it. Or you are seriously going to be some troops worst nightmare with how disgruntled you are.
