Staff Sargent, which is E-7... quite an achievement. Takes time, so he may have already been in the Army when the war broke out. Not sure, but time-in-rank-wise it may make sense. In any event, that is a face that has seen things. Respect. EDIT: I got the level wrong E-6… but still a big deal.

You know what, I think you’re right. Still, even in E-6 gets a lot of respect.

You bet your ass I'm right.

And, speaking as a former service member, I say again that an E6 is equally worthy of respect.
