I just happened to be near the front door and began to welcome them. One numbskull decided to greet me by saying, "hey Sarge" and at that very moment, you could've heard a pin drop! I had a drill sargeant moment and that boy spent nearly an hour alternating between push ups and the front leaning rest position for doing that. I never got called "Sarge' again!

Sorry , didn't mean to hijack your thread.....

My only exposure to military life is the movies - how should he have addressed you?

I agree with all of the above. I would just add that Dillon makes great reloaders and their customer service is second to none. They will stay on the phone and walk you through every step to get you started or if you are having a problem. The Dillons also have case feeders so all you do is set a bullet, pull handle, repeat. Drops a cartridge with every pull.

Getting home is a big step on the road to recovery. Hope you get back to 100% soon and start buying reloading gear!

ArmyVet, glad to hear that you are home now!!

We are here to help should you have any further questions.

There is but only one correct answer as to how to address an NCO and that is "Sergeant"! Learned that from my drill sergeant and I adhered to it. Has nothing to do with being a grunt, fly boy, mess cook, tanker or whatever you did in the service.

I worked hard to become an NCO and never once was I going to let some punk private get away with disrespecting my hard earned stripes with some slang term just because they were too lazy to say it correctly!

Just my .02....

Can we get back to reloading answers now? LOL
