MAJ Private RallyPoint Member 1287250 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I attended a week long course that was composed of SSG-MSG, CW4's, CPT-LTC and DAC's. On The last day a BG spoke to the group before course completion certificates where handed out. When the BG entered the room the group stood at attention. Once seated he asked a few question to a couple of a NCO's, a couple of officers (MAJ &amp; LTC) and a few civilians. Naturally, I expected the military members to No one stood when addressing the BG. Why? 2016-02-07T21:18:22-05:00 MAJ Private RallyPoint Member 1287250 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I attended a week long course that was composed of SSG-MSG, CW4's, CPT-LTC and DAC's.

I guess not. That's pretty shitty &amp; disrespectful! I think the individuals that didn't show the proper respect should've gotten 4856's. I would've done it, if I was ranking. I think I would've quietly lost my mind on some people first though!

Do you guys also beat your wives and children for not standing and addressing you properly? It doesn't matter that much. AT ALL.
