TLDR: Tim Walz’s record trumps Vance’s any fucking day of the week.
NCO isn’t considered bad ass but is absolutely given all due respect. You’ll salute NCO’s just like any other officer, but you know he’s less likely to give you shit about uniform reqs. My favorite grey beards were always the Short TImer NCO’s that didn’t have 2 fucks to rub together about protocol.
Another thing is Tim should whip out his Rack and slap Vance with his silver oak clusters.Vance didn’t even get a GWOT! Vance only has a couple participation trophies. Walz has a bonafied 3" rack.
What? You two both are talking like you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. Tim Walz was a Command Sergeant Major, which makes him an E9. This is no longer an NCO, this is a SNCO or Senior Non Commissioned Officer. You also don’t salute any enlisted members; E1 or E9, it doesn’t matter, you don’t salute them. Becoming E9 is quite prestigious though as it is the only enlisted rank to get DV status at bases (at least Air Force bases which I can attest to having spent 10 years in the Air Force myself).
Maybe not in the air force but it’s totally a thing for secret agent Delta Recon SEAL Raider Green Berets like aodhswhateverthefuck up there. They’re so elite, they’ll even salute civilians.
Lol, I don’t think they ever claimed to be the military. They’re both just confidently incorrect. Technically, there is one civilian who regularly gets saluted, the president.
That’s a fair point, I was just enjoying the image of the average “I was gonna join but…” doing sloppy dive rolls down supermarket aisles and saluting anything that moved.
