And thus you have learned a valuable lesson in resisting temptation and keeping your mouth shut when presented a golden opportunity to do so. Was the need to 'clarify' your post important enough to you to make you seem disrespectful or whiny? You saw the response here; now imagine the long-term results of doing something similar at OSUT to a Drill Sergeant, or to a Black Hat at Airborne School, or--God forbid--an SF NCO serving as cadre at SFAS or the Q. A simple 'roger' and nothing follows can sometimes be more valuable to you than gold.
