Old Sarge Introduction

[Jayaruh]

High their, Bryan. Glad to have you aboard. What's the story on "Old Sarge?"

Thanks to all for the kind greetings and words of encouragement!

Well Jim, the Old part is self explanatory. I was born in 1966 so I'll let you do the math. As for the Sarge part, in 2010 I retired after 20 years from the US Army as a Sergeant First Class. Though not professionally correct by the sticklers, Sarge is an informal, old school term of endearment/respect for those with the enlisted rank of Sergeant through Master Sergeant. For a number of years I previously worked for a civilian lady while both on active duty and as a contractor after retiring. She still calls me Sarge to this day and I love it!

I see you are located in the great state of North Cakalacky, what a lovely state!

Thank you for your service, Sarge. I served 67-70 in the Army as an OR Tech, SP5. I spent a year in the Nam, 68-69. My middle son is a Lt Commander in the Navy.
