For the first time in close to two years I witnessed a SNCO chew ass on Army standards. We were shooting with the Germans trying to earn their range cord. They fed us lunch and in the chow line I waited patiently. Suddenly 1SG (former infantry now MEDIVAC 1SG) starts yelling about how the line was all jacked up. I looked up bewildered at what was happening and he suddenly started telling the NCO's to put the lower enlisted to the front of the line. He then said it started with them setting the example and to enforce the standard. I do believe he was on a roll that day because later I could hear him yelling about hands in pockets and a few other things. I was really glad that he started stepping up. Might have been a bad time since we were being hosted by the Germans but it did help us present a more professional appearance overall. Well at least until the joes started with the ugly american syndrome.
