BTW folks-
In my posts you will notice I refer to SgtRock as "TOP".
When you're in an Army company(especially infantry), the 1stSergeant is affectionately referred to as "TOP"(the Top Sergeant) since he outranks all the other NCOs in the company.
Both a MasterSergeant &a 1stSergeant have the same pay grade of E-8 but the 1st Sergeant runs the company. (don't ever think the officers have anything to do with it- they're nothing but window dressing).
When I was in Vietnam I was a squad leader in a Search&Destroy infantry unit. When I got back to the "World" & Ft.Hood I was a platoon sergeant in the 2ndArmoredDivision.
Proper respect dictates that we refer to Sgt.Rock as "TOP" - that's what that little diamond in his MasterSergeant's chevrons means...
