Well enough was enough and Ken (Kencelot) was not behaving like an officer... so... I demoted him.
He went from 4 star general to Technical Sergeant!
I hope he has learned his lesson.

LOL....I see Ken hasn't seen this yet but for Paulo's sake I will go ahead and let everyone know this was what Ken had requested. And EVEN THOUGH I had said I wouldn't do any more custom ranks I think he deserved his special request to be an enlisted man once again.
Cheers,
Jim

Wow! No more constant shining of brass nor silver! No more returning salutes! No more special clubs or mess halls. No more desks and phones.
It's great being a non-com again... I think. I haven't even seen my new stripes yet. With this post I shall.
Thanks Jim. Really.

Sorry but you did not demote him to Tech Sergeant - you made him a Specialst 3.
Tech Sgt is 3 Stripes and 2 Rockers.

You are correct. I got scrambled at some point in my head and Ken had actually requested the rank of WWII Technician 3rd Grade. My apologies to him for the temporary rank confusion.

And what did a Technician 3rd Grade do I wonder? The rank badge is almost identical to a staff sergeant (just with the "T") so I assume a Tech 3rd Grade was near equal rank.

! Jim !
Oh no ! They killed Kenny !
Who the hell is General Failure, and why was he reading my hard disk ?
Where's my funky Iraqi general rank that was here on my profile a few years ago? Did they strip my rank, after all I've done for this forum ? Robbery!!
