I'm a FNG 18D on orders for 7th? Does that count?

Oh, and in regards to all of you guys' "beloved" SMAJ I., his son went through the course with my roomate....It was always amusing when, on the first day of whatever, the TAC got to that part of the roster, paused, and then looked up at him with a suspicious look....."You don't happen to have a relative with the first name of Sergent Major, do you?"
Apparently, it was not at all uncommon for TACS to interupt class during phase so and so....WHERE THE HELL IS I_______!!! OUT IN THE HALL!!! THIS IS FOR THE TIME THAT YOUR DAD MADE ME DO _____!!! ONE, TWO, THREE!!!! (Or, that's what I've heard)
