So I am at a loss for words on something RallyPointers and I need some clarification on something. I apparently have rallied a bad "juju" curse regarding military promotions. Without going into further detail that may just be the demise of my person (lol) I would like to know if there is such a thing as a "bad juju" curse associated with the insertion of a (insert rank)(P) status that someone makes to another Soldier potentially facing a promotion? For example, I will use myself so I do not further "juju" the other individual - if I was to say "listen hear SGT (P) - stop worrying about the promotion list. Everything will be fine." Have I infallibly cursed this person or is this merely an assinying superstition?

Bad juju is bad juju and it is not a superstition if it works.

I have a rule like this.  Never sew your rank onto your ACUs!  I see it as a person saying they don't mind remaining a *insert rank here*.  

It's nuts since we had to sew the rank into BDUs and DCUs.... I'm gonna say it... back in the day.
