I hope I don't embarrass you. But you deserve recognition not only in the Army, but here as well.
Gang - we can no longer refer to this fine Soldier as 'Top.' (That's short for 1st Sergeant.)
He is now a Command Sergeant Major in the United States Army.. ('CSM' will suffice if you are a lazy American like me who hates typing.)
CSM is the highest rank a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) can reach in the NCO Corps.
HOOAAH!

A huge accomplishment. Don't know what else to say except congratulations and thanks for your service.

Well done, CSM. Much respect.
A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. And that's why the USA is a constitutional republic and not a democracy.

First, learn how to spell, "Definitely" (sorry, but pet peeve of mine). Secondly, I look forward to you being able to smoke your cigars and drink whiskey (as you currently do), all while being a guy who is actually in charge, like the General who you fantasize to be. Awesome! I'm rooting for you!Originally Posted by eomrat
