Why is it that Civilian Soldiers/Military believe their rank in service is relevant to what position they hold in civilian jobs?

Are you asking about federal civilian jobs? Which in my opinion are not true civilian employment. Most Fed Technician jobs do align with the military in National Guard positions. Most times the position description in the job requires a minimum rank in the guard. It you are truly under title 5 and happen to be working with another title 5 who happens to be in the guard also, then rank would not matter and they are probably just trying to wield power they mistakenly believe they have.

I have noticed quite a bit of generalization on this website with the chats. Not all military feel this way. If you decide to work for the VA for example they review experience of course especially in the Behavioral Health Arena. There are just some jobs that cannot be given to those without the proper experience that is life.

I was an E-5 (Chemical Corps,) then later became a GS-4 as a VA Psychiatric Technician, completely unrelated. Once licensed, I could have become a GS-6, but I went to work for a state hospital, instead. Twenty years later, I finally had a PhD, and started teaching full time.

They do?

This is disturbing.

Technicians may be required to use their rank to network due to their dual-hatted position, but they should not use it to gain pleasure, profit or personal safety as this is against the NCO Creed. Also, their civilian position should be respected just as any rank would be in the military uniform.

Some sort of distorted "Alpha Syndrome" maybe? In every place I have ever worked in the civilian sector there were precious few veterans to start with, and those of us who were rarely spoke of our military exploits, let alone going around flaunting our prior ranks. There just was no call for that sort of thing. Sounds to me like more of a true maturity issue than anything else.

I'm the 2nd highest ranking in my job and it's all the junior NCOs that think they deserve more.
