What do you think about the so called "power-trip" from E-5 selects/promotables? Some airmen seem to think when airmen get their line number they go on a power trip. Do you see it as such or do you feel its as something different? If you do see it how do you fix it?

Lmao! I've been called a super airman! I'm the one younger airman go to when they need something from the higher ups and they have a crappy supervisor!

I think it depends on how that person was during the period of being an E4. Me luckily I came into the squadron as an E4 so I don't have to cut the friendship thing. I've always tried to have the airman think I was already an NCO. Of course there was joking around at work, but thats it. We're not buddy buddy, no hanging out after work anything like that! That way all I have to do is remind them, (when I do put on SSgt), thats its SSgt Hudson now. As far as actually power tripping, I try to remain humble. I've always corrected something wrong and I've always delegated. I've even had NCO's tell me to correct the younger airmen. So I'm sure people wouldn't see it as a power trip if I continued on with the way I am.
