Congrat's on the SFC promotion. Nice increase in pay but it also draws more paperwork. I remember getting my SGT stripe and thinking I had it made now...such are the delusions of youth. I found out that as an Electronics SP 4 I was at the top of that food chain, no KP, occasional CQ duty, and only paperwork for parts orders and finished radios. Then as a SGT I was beleaguered with all the PW I used to do plus added reports,evaluations,requests for everything and all. I think my Platoon SGT enjoyed haveing me do some of his work. Oh! but the joys of confusing butter bars when they really had no clue as to what I really did inside a radio. The "manual" said to fully run a radio through a full tune up was supposed to take 1 1/2 hrs.This was using 10 pieces of seperate test equipment. When the army started getting the modern test equipment from Motorola & IFR, I could preset everything and run thru a radio in 10 min.s LT would look baffled and say " Very good, carry on" which is Mil speak for "I have no idea of what your talking about, but it makes me look good".
