M not a medical guy , but this was actually pretty cool to read . <| sep |> So you ' re an E 5 ? Glad to hear that you see yourself as a pay grade and not as an NCO . So once you ' re off base , you are a civilian , Joe Schmo . Glad I ' m not in anymore to deal with the asshats like you . Maybe you should have taken the issue up with the E 2 ' s what some people would call an Airman , but not you , since paygrade is life supervisor . ya know , the E 5 otherwise known as a Staff Sergeant , SSgt , reporting official , superior , higher paygrade person placed over the lower paygrade person since you wanted to chew someone ' s ass out . I ' m sure the Security Force ' s E 5 would have liked to hear that their troop a term for lower paygrade person . was causing issues with base populace over a term they found offensive . Its quite laughable that you have a thought that your superiority , and deserving of respect , overfrom the Airman TRANSLATION E 2 is solely derived from your CAC saying E 5 at paygrade . Really shows your priorities . Pretty darn good E 5 ing , future Cody . I ' m sure you can find some hands in pockets , or an unbuttoned back pocket even ! , somewhere on Monday when you go back in for a duty day TRANSLATION office hours . Fixing those sorts of issues will certainly help the Air Force Your employer with its mission what it ' s contracted to do . So get out there after a long weekend while others are working doing things during ' office hours ', even if those office hours don ' t include a defined lunch break , or even occur during usual day light hours and keep up the great E 5 ing everyone is clamoring for . You ' re a shooin for making E 9 with that sort of dedication to the company .
