I get saluted by the gate guards and called Chief when going on post. I half assume from the post policy toward my blue card and half assume from the feeling of saying 'Chief'. <br /><br />If you're retired, whatever your rank is, you are that to active duty. And that's good enough for me.Response by CW2 Eric Scott made Nov 3 at 2015 8:36 PM2015-11-03T20:36:50-05:002015-11-03T20:36:50-05:00CMSgt James Nolan1086384<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Plan on moving to FL, top 5.
