reminds me of the time i ( spec 4 )refused to let a Sgt major on post because he refused to show his ID. to make a long story short. after 15 minutes of discussing an NCO got involved and five minutes later ( after he finally showed his ID) we let him on post, after he wanted to know who our Sgt Major was. next morning we had to report to our Sgt Major and we got congradualated on a job well done and making him laugh
I had something like that happen in my barracks...the EC let him in. And he yelled “BOOM! YOUR ALL DEAD!” And proceeded to smoke everybody afterwards...
Alice Copper something similar happened to me I denied someone access because they didn’t have their ID. The person turned out to be a sergeant major, he came back and gave me a coin😂
This reminds me of a great story, once the great and legendary fleet admiral chester nimitz was being transported in a sea plane in san Francisco when it went down in the water. It wasn’t a terrible crash and they ended up transferring into a lifeboat wrapped in blankets for warmth, Chester was standing up for one reason or another when a brand spankin new 18 year old coxswain yelled at him and basically said “if you moved maybe we could get something done, and sit down you” basically the 1940s “sit yo ass down” to which nimitz did just that but as he did his arm was exposed just enough for the sailor to see the most amount of stripes he had ever seen. Upon realizing he had just yelled at the commander and chief of the pacific fleet among many other things he immediately turned red and stumbled to apologize to which Nimitz replied “stick to your guns sailor, you were quite right” and that is the mark of our greatest flag officer in the history of this nation.
Actually we did this in the AF. When I was trained as a SF we were told the base, the planes, and everything we guarded was more important than some officer or senior enlisteds feelings. We actually had a few incidents with officers and higher enlisted. They would go and cry to the unit commander who would than let the base general know. Base general was hardcore and loved her SF. She had our backs 100%. It’s the weirdest feeling seeing a general escort some colonel to come apologize to you for him being an asshole. It was surreal
Yup, the UCMJ applies regardless of rank, We as Security Forces are allowed to give any one regardless of rank corrections or tickets/apprehend (if need be) if they broke the law. Still have to give respect though lol. Joined SF after 6 years of being Infantry
Yep, it was that way when I was in doing flight line or guard shack or ATOC duty's, we had the juice, an NO officer could upsurp our duty's, or refuse ID' or gain entry without prior approval. Sure they could try, but would realize that this kid didn't play an meant what he said, with all due respect SIR. AFSP
In all honesty, if someone is in the wrong, they are in the wrong no matter if they are an E1 or O1, or Chief of Staff, rules and regs and the UCMJ supersedes all ranks. And further more it pisses me off when someone legitimately tries to use their rank to get out of any form of accountability. Had a Lt Col, threaten me with his rank if I didn't lie for his PT test results, and that made me sick to my very core... (I'm not saying I stood up, I'm saying I lied because I was an E3 on a super small base where everyone knew everyone, and did not have a snow ball chance in hell with fighting it, it would have been my word against an O5's word)
@@d.b.5070 *wasn't grading the PT test, I was taking the PT test.... Secondly you can have an E3 grade a PT test...It is part of the personnel job code for the USAF....Since part of their job is working on the gym on base....Secondly the only reason why I was counting in the first place, was because the way they did it is, one person does the exercise, and the other person that is also taking the test counts for that person, then when the time limit comes up the person collecting scores comes down the line, one by one, and asks for the numbers. Then once all the numbers are gathered, the person that was counting switches places and becomes the person taking the test, and the other person counting their repetitions, and the person that just did the sit ups is now counting. I didn't think that I would have to explain this. But please do show the link in R bullshit I would love to see it. Do other branches not do it like this, where you have a line of people taking the pt test, and they pair them up in twos, where one person counts the push ups/sit ups, and then switch roles after the time limit is up?*
I had a barracks lawyer tell me an officer can't smoke you, so once upon a time, I got told by a butter bar lt to drop, I laughed and said "sir you can't say that". About 3 ncos walk up and say " sir are you having an issue" the lt told them what I said, so as they smoked the shit outta me, they were laughing there asses of at the lt. Never felt better about a smoke session!
@@justinfreeman4614 true enough, I too can also appreciate that officers have a cadre of ncos to tell them how much of a ass they are. Or how stupid and inexperienced there orders can be. But overall laugh at them for being punked by a lower enlisted. Sorry college kid
Andrew Ledet tell me more about it. My ship date got stripped last year. I’m in the National guard still waiting to get shipped. Been in for almost 2 years
@@ACombatVeteran So how was the "corrective training?" Front, back goes? Flutter kicks, pushups, 3-second rushes or a combo of all of the above? Been there done that. lol! Have a disability from VA to prove it. lol! Retired after 20 years of lovey service. Thank you Uncle Sam and my recruiter SSgt Vasquez! I wonder if he's still alive? 😉 🤣
My LT lost a radio that we used in the field. Said he didn’t know what happened to it. First thing out of my mouth was “well you should of kept it on your person, and not act like a private!”
Dude I’m commissioning in like a year and couldn’t tell you how to pack a ruck properly. Honestly I’m about to go to my unit and just follow around the PSG or something
I work in the DFAC for the Air Force and I was really chummy with our LT. (Prior enlisted, huge prankster. Great guy). And I made the mistake of saying to him "Hey sir, how about you make me the burger today?" He laughed his ass off because we were just shooting the shit, but our 1SGT heard and she was pissed. She pulled me in an office and let me have it. As soon as I was told to get back to my post at the grill line, my LT hands me a plate with a hamburger on it. Lt. Anderson, God bless you.
When I was an E5 (in the Army), had a butter bar try to tell me to let him in my Arms Room. “Not happening, sir.” He through a fit and said, “I AM AN LT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?” This dipshit got to the unit 3 days prior and I looked at him and said “I’ve been promoted 4 more times than you?” Butter bar tried to tell me to do push ups, but an officer can’t smoke an enlisted. So, I went and called the CO to come down and get his new LT. CO must not of liked him because he sent the Sergeant Major down who hated all LT’s to run him off. I never saw an officer get cursed out before. Made my day!
That’s great lol. Definitely don’t recommend doing that as a private, especially in basic. Wait til you been an NCO for a few years then when you get a fresh butter bar you can yell at them a little bit when they need it.
My CO told the new butter bars to get a sledgehammer and beat the ridges out of the conex till they're straight. Next thing I know I heard banging and clanging for the next 10 minutes.
"Don't confuse your rank with my authority" is actually a very appropriate response to an officer trying to pull rank while being belligerent and trying to circumvent the rules. You don't start with that, but if they try to pull rank, nope, you shut them down, respectfully. Anyone saying otherwise, like the butter bar doing the training, like knew who had them, and an officer can't be getting shown up by a pvt. Some officers need to be taken down several pegs. Being an officer does not mean you're god's gift to the world, it simply means who have to make the decisions and ultimate authority rests with you, nothing more. You're not better trained, better educated, none of it. Also, I'm an officer and constantly reinforce this to my enlisted. I'm not special, smarter, better trained, or anything else like that. I simply have to make the decisions and take responsibility when those decisions produce less than desirable results, and also provide a shit screen from higher up so they can do their jobs effectively.
Great post! Loved reading this detailed response. Glad there are still service members that actually have good insight on our military. As a former NCO and as of yesterday a retire LTC, one thing the new military should remember is "chain of command". In this scenario, the private should have went up to the squad leader, platoon Sgt etc. and notified his chain. If the officer felt disrespected in any way, it should have came the other way down. Officers are definitely not gods gift to the world, and we seen many Generals roofed off for recruit level mistakes. As an officer, I felt I should rarely have direct interaction with any private unless its a morale function for example family day, holiday meals, etc or directed to by the subordinates chain of command. Tony, really thank you for your service...
>Also, I'm an officer and constantly reinforce this to my enlisted. I'm not special, smarter, better trained, or anything else like that. Damn I wish you could tell that to my LT
@@Scroolewse You can, if you catch him acting foolish around enlisted, and punish it for him enough. There are plenty of stories of LTs trying to pull rank on E8s and getting very angry phone calls from high ranking officers shortly thereafter.
You should've told the LT "we're either training, or we're live firing Lieutenant. Now hands where I can see em." Seriously, back at Recruit Training, I wouldve never had the balls to do that. Good job on not snitching though 😂😂😂
That was funny. I was a Marine MP. My two most memorable arrests (and the biggest headaches afterwards) was a full bird colonel for DUI and a base SgtMaj for DUI. Let me tell you if you want to spend a half day briefing officers on your arrests this is a good way to do it.
@@chuckyd19 If your uniform is dirty enough (think deployment and multi day/week missions without access to showers or laundry) and they are just busy enough to not give it a second thought, you can survive telling one to fuck off. Don't ask me how I know.

I am a Captain and this was a great story, especially thinking of my Lt time. I also like that as soon as you dropped the quote you brought up the sponsor again - brilliant timing. It's a shame that you got smoked for following instructions. It's the DS who should have been corrected - IMO. Edit: Also, I definitely have to listen to MPs irrespective of rank.
My 1st duty station was Korea. The new ADS (1 star general) was in our Bn area I bumped into him and said "Hello sir, you must be the NUG." - NUG = New Useless Guy. He was like "What is a NUG specialist?" it was at this moment I realized I probably fucked up (he was African-American and "NUG" might have sounded wrong very very very wrong). I pulled my head out of my ass and said "New General sir."
I was on payroll duty ( guarding the money) and a Capt. In civil attire wanted to cross the area that I was instructed not to let anyone cross . Instructions of lock and load if you deem necessary. Well long short he tried to pull ranked and test me . I shouted sir do not take another step and place your hands where I can see them. He acted like he had a weapon along with his buddy so I locked and loaded and told them both hit the muther fucking ground now or die the choice is yours. They hit the ground and the MP came and took them away. I stood in front of the post commander and he said good job it was a test . Then asked if I would have shot them both ? I said yes with cause or malice . Thus I became his driver. Lol
dude, your the ONLY person on youtube that i would tolerate punting sponsors....because I been watching you since the beginning and I know its coins in your pocket, you rock. love you long time china
when i was in boot camp Paris island, we had a guy who put the battalion commander on his knees. granted it was a rifle with a blank stop(cant remember the name of it), but he was patrolling the parade deck and the cmdr left his ID in the car so this private put him on his knees. Dude got a promotion when we graduated. train like you fight oorah.
That’s funny, I was driving thru TDC in Korea two MP’s stopped me due to the fact I was driving myself. They marveled at my military license due to the fact the only two things I wasn’t licensed to drive in the Army inventory. And yes I was an Lieutenant.
I bet you didnt get smoked as hard as I did when in Fort Benning during the end of basic when you clean your weapon for 3 days straight; get caught sleeping on the bathroom /shower benches. I will never forget that.....I thought I was going to die and my battle buddy was right there next to me. Circa 2003
Never break character, you should of toughed it out. I was on a roving patrol for the camp guard when there was a real terrorism threat from the I.R.A. We were tactically moving around camp after midnight, fully armed, and my oppo behind me called me over as he had seen the orderly officer following us. I said, no, it's a fucking terrorist. So we walked him passed the assault course where we set a trap and ambushed him. He started saying well done lads, etc trying to calm us after issuing a challenge to him so I cocked my rifle and let the safety off, nick click on an SLR. And ordered him to the ground where we kicked him over and pulled the balaclava off his head. Pardon the pun, we did it just for kicks, my oppo was not comfortable with it but we didn't break character. Needless to say we got a lovely pat on the back next day from our RSM whilst the rest of the shift got beasted all day with no sleep for not doing their job correctly.
We had an LT in the briefing with third party training and we had an LT saying something profoundly stupid. There were about 50 of us there. One of the E6's said "Sir, just shut up and push". The LT was shocked that an enlisted member would say this. He looked to the CO for top cover and the CO said "what are you looking at me for!? Do what the man said!" He was shocked, so he knocked out 20 four-counts and got up. He never opened his mouth again. From that point on he kept his mouth shut and his ears open and turned out to be one of the best leaders I ever had the privilege to serve with. A story my old E6 TL told us was he had a fresh LT hop in his JERRV during pre-deployment training and the LT said "act like I'm not here". My TL, an E4 at the time, said "sir, just sit down, shut up, and maybe you'll learn something". LT said "Excuse me!?" My TL repeated " I said, sit down and shut up and maybe you'll learn something!". The LT looked at my TL's TL (an E6) and said "Your SPC just mouthed off to me!" The E6 repeated, "Sir, sit down shut up and maybe you'll learn something!" The LT was dumbfounded, he couldn't really get out because the truck was already moving at this point. But when he did, he went and complained to the CO who said "Well, did you learn anything?" He too was quiet after that.
Bax xtab we don’t hate each other, it’s a love hate relationship, kinda like a group of friends that shit on each other all the time, but when someone else comes at them, they beat the shit out of them :)
I wonder if we had the same drill instructor. I was in basic in 2002 and AIT in 2003 and I remember one of them saying the exact same thing to us. I also remember the traffic stop practice, but they made us set up on a real road and we had to randomly stop cars, which happened to include an E-8 and he was not happy to be used as a training prop.
As a marine 0481 I usually never had this problem but I have seen that line dropped on an admiral or 2. They quickly follow with "for your safety I need you to exit the area" .works like a charm
I had a lovely encounter with a 2LT, brand new and fresh out of school. I was a 45K at the time (had maybe 2 years in, if that) working on an Abrams and in the process of pulling the breach block. 2LT started playing with the overhead crane controller for some damn reason. I tried to be polite and respectful; while I was in the process of getting down from the turret to retrieve the controller, the breach finally came off of the bolts and pinned the kid inside (nothing too bad, only broke his glasses). After we get the kid inside out of the tank, I (a lowly PFC at the time), started lambasting this 2LT like I lost my damn mind. Really long story short, he left and not long after, my squad leader, platoon sergeant and Chief appeared and started my ass chewing. I then had to go see First Sergeant, who decided to chew it some more. I thought for sure that I was going back to becoming an E-Nothing private. Top took me into the commander’s office and I got my ass chewed yet again. In the end though, no article for me...no extra duty and no loss in rank...just several ass chewings. Best part was that 2LT never came into the shop again and he avoided me (a goofy ass PFC) like the plague.
When the orders are unclear, it's the fault of the general - Sun Tzu. "I might've not said some things" - Your drill sergeant should've had you better prepared.
I said that all the time as an MP haha. Also pointed my rifle at a DS trying to cross the tape on our "fob" at the "ftx" and a DS had to come out the cq desk and be like we told him to do that relax haha
As an E-3 I had an incident with an O-6, the next 0-6 in line for 0-7 in fact! See, I'd given a hazard report to the COL's "Sexetary" 3-wks prior, with a suspense of 5-working days, to avoid sending it thru base distribution and incurring further delays I always dropped off and picked up my reports in person. Anyhow, the secretary lost the report, 3x! Now in those days we used electric typewriters and if you made any mistakes you had to start over because COL's didn't accept reports with either typos or correction fluid/tape smudges, at least that COL didn't! So naturally by the 3rd time I was pretty pissed and I proceeded to ask the secretary if she actually read the suspense date, you know, the big 1" high red ink stamp in the upper left hand corner, she proceeded to tell me she was busy and didn't have time to read everything that came across her desk, at which point my stupid ass replied "but isn't that your job"? At this point the COL (soon to be General) kicked his office door open, stormed out and said, "You, Airmen, GTFO of my office before you piss me off"! I responded by snapping to attention, saluting, saying yes sir, about faced and marched out! It was a block to the ramp and about 100 yards to get back to the control tower/fire station, and as I started getting close I realized there were 3 people standing there watching and waiting for me, my commander (0-5) ,the fire chief (E-9) and my civilian A/C (GS-10). My commander says "What in the hell did you say to that COL", I told my story, the chief just glared at me and marched off, apparently to pissed off to speak, and my A/C just shook his head grinning! See, in those days HQ would inspect us frequently, and one of the main things they looked for was busted suspense dates, 3-4 of those and you fail, and if you fail the squadron fails, the group fails, and the wing fails, and then you can look forward to a month long exercise with 12-hr shifts 7-days a wk wearing MOPP-4 Chem gear and doing firefighting exercises 3-4 times a day, dragging MA1A barrier webbing and cables, dragging firehose and 175 lb dummies, etc... and then a new I G. Inspection! So it was literally drilled into us to never bust a suspense date, so they really couldn't say much to me for trying!
THIS! I remember getting this "setup" by my senior DS in basic training as well. Fast forward years later to the dirty 630 and I was having a bad day on patrol. Pulled over a Major for rolling through a stop sign. Barely got past the formalities of who I was and why I pulled him over and he was flapping his gums off about who he was and how I'll get in trouble for attempting to issue him a citation. It was at that very moment where I blacked out and said the greatest words an MP could say to anyone (in a clam and firm MP voice), "Sir don't confuse your rank with my authority." Handed him the citation and the look he gave me was pure shock. 5 minutes later SPC Kirven was standing tall at the PMO getting a firm talking too. hahah! Good times!
I didn’t yell at my LT in basic, but I did walk away from him with a drill SGT right next to him when he said some dumb shit to me, I had stress fractures and I was in a lot of pain so I walked out and I hear him yell, “hey you, who said you could go to the alternate pt group?” I talked in attention, sobbing my eyes out “sir I have stress fractures I can’t run” as soon as he said “you don’t have stress fractures, if you did then you wouldn’t be here”, I was too pissed I walked away, I had 1 drill SGT from another platoon screaming at me and my drill SGT came in hauling ass, he was a reasonable guy although he was still pretty harsh, he just stared at me but I could see in his eyes he knew I wasn’t faking it. Later that day he said “are you the kid from this morning? If the doctor says you’re fine then you’ll be fine, drink water hooah?” I’ll never forget that.
That's the best remedy for everything. Having a bad day? Take a knee drink water. Hit your hand with a hammer? Take a knee and drink water? Got divorced? Take a knee and drink water. Got your hand blown off? Take a knee and drink water. With this you are guaranteed to recover from anything that life throws at you.

Back in the 80s, I was an E2 straight from Jump School at Ft. Bragg. Waiting in the Motor Pool to be released after my first "real" FTX (WHY can't the armory just check the Expletive weapons in already - I'm ready to hit the dorms!) Saw a dude look in the window (it was dark out, and I couldn't make out his flash on that beautiful red beret). Asked my Specialist "I wonder what the F he wants." As his eyes got huge, and he turned, I noticed that it was just a little EAGLE on the beret. The freaking Brigade commander stormed in and asked me "Do you know who I am" (not at the time!), and "What did you say?" (I fibbed). Needless to say, my desk was moved and I was ordered to never look out the window again.
As a CGO, I've gotten, and given, nothing but respect from SF at every gate I've been at. If a CGO is being a douche, they deserve to be hit with this line. Quick funny story: After driving the 1 hour 15 minutes daily commute from Boise to Mountain Home AFB, ID (my then daily commute). My half awake ass hands my CAC to the SF at the gate, normal routing is, "good Moring have a good one." However, this morning the Airman points to the seat behind me and demands, "I need to see his ID too." My eyes must have opened like dinner plates, with a "oh Shit" look on my face. The SF dude then started laughing and gave me the sharpest salute ever! All I could say was, "well done, well done."
SSG Hernandez, Outstanding reflection and funny video! I'm a 'mustang' and was a SSG; after crossing over, I was an experienced, mature, solid 2LT (at about 30). As a 2LT, I did tactfully, respectfully use a version of that line to stand up for my Soldiers with a MAJ and survived. The MAJ had disrespected my soldiers, was wrong (and he knew it) with a later 'regret' voiced to me (close to a apology). The matter stayed between us where I didn't smoke him with his superiors. The MAJ and my Soldiers, it seemed, respected me for my handling of the matter. Your service is indeed appreciated. Best wishes, a LTC, MP.
I actually said the same thing to a Lt. Colonel at Westpointe in 1988 during graduation and again in Saudi in 1991. It worked once and the other time I got the Captain involved.
I had something similar happened to me as a contract security officer at a government building and I had to actually tell a member of the Board of Commissioners no because they arrived during a unscheduled security drill and where they wanted to go was considered restricted to all staff during the exercise., so been there done that and I definitely got the T-shirt. Sometimes people don't understand no means no irregardless rank or authority we're just trying to keep you and ourselves in one piece

My granddad was a MP with Co. A , 797th Mp's attached to the 3rd Service Command during WWII. He was clearing out a bar off base one night that the Division Commander happened to be at. The Major General asked under whose authority he was closing the bar under, my grandfather replied, " Yours Sir." My grandfather was promoted the next day from PFC to Sergeant E-5.
I thought this was going to be about a time where you had an Lt trying to re-learn Land Nav and got lost, and you yelled at him to stop taking random turns and try to find a ridgeline so you could figure out a way back.

What's even better is when you smell alcohol on the breath of a Field Grade coming back on post as you are checking their ID. But, while you are contiplating a course of action that will not ruin their career, the the driver panics and flies off the handle and asks for the OIC. That's when you broadcast it over the net (instead discretely using a landline) that you may have a possible DUI and request the presents of the OIC. Now the Command Post and everyone else knows what's going on and it can't be hidden.

Dixcico a quick copy paste answer Promotion to corporal is considered a lateral appointment. The Army can laterally appoint a specialist serving in a sergeant, E5, position to corporal because the slot calls for a noncommissioned officer. However, the Army might fill a sergeant slot with a private first-class,
Honestly though, there’s a time and place for everything. Back in the Corps we had a saying. Walk your post from flank to flank and take no shit from any rank. If you’re on duty, you represent the CO. Just make sure you’re on the right side, and don’t be stupid. There’s a way to be firm while being respectful.
This is funny. This statement somehow crossed over into the Air Force. One day I was in the office working on a plan (we all know the Air Force loves to plan) with a CMSgt (E-9). A Security Forces TSgt (E-6) came in and was talking to us. All of a sudden he dropped the confuse your rank with my authority line on the Chief. The Chief had a great personality and everybody liked him. The Chief’s eyes bugged out and I thought uh-oh!The Chief said WTF and started laughing. The TSgt immediately deflated and everything was back to normal. So, I can definitely relate to this story!
I was somehow very lucky with my insubordination... Lol I've yelled at a Sgt. Openly argued and disrespected a warrent while sitting down with my feet on the table while the the commander and Top were standing behinder. ,while sending first sergeant memes of her while she was yelling at me.(she was bad mouthing everyone when she was the only one who failed the evaluation) And on several occasions refused to salute a certain LT (chode). now never do any of this. But..... Lol i was in air defense and there they do kinda push the common sense that nomatter the rank ,if a individual is more knowledgeable about the task at hand then people of rank that know nothing need to just bow out... It's a thought that some officers don't respect but some are chill. I was a specialist ...... Everyone respects the mafia lol
Because a good SPC knows his or her job like the back for their hand and won’t take shit from someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about. They make great NCOs later because they aren’t kiss asses they have a fucking BACKBONE
A couple oldies come to mind. When Barney Fife pulls over the son of the Governor & writes him a ticket. Or when Gomer Pyle...under orders from his LT to not let anyone into a certain area without the correct papers or some such...prevents that SAME LT from entering because the LT didn't have the papers. In both of these cases though they were commended...the former by the Governor himself that someone had the nerve to put his son in his due place and the latter by the base CO despite the objections of the LT.
Heard the same thing brother in 1999. Delta Co 787 MP BN! Heard a SSG tell a second LT on a gate stop one time at gate 4 Ft Campbell to chill out because he had underwear that had been promoted more times than him LOL 😂
Ex USAF here, once as an E3 and once as an E-4 I lost my mind on two different full bird colonels. One was trying to get me to commit a felony and the other hit me with his car on purpose.

reminds me of the time i ( spec 4 )refused to let a Sgt major on post because he refused to show his ID. to make a long story short. after 15 minutes of discussing an NCO got involved and five minutes later ( after he finally showed his ID) we let him on post, after he wanted to know who our Sgt Major was. next morning we had to report to our Sgt Major and we got congradualated on a job well done and making him laugh

I had something like that happen in my barracks...the EC let him in. And he yelled “BOOM! YOUR ALL DEAD!” And proceeded to smoke everybody afterwards...
Alice Copper something similar happened to me I denied someone access because they didn’t have their ID. The person turned out to be a sergeant major, he came back and gave me a coin😂
This reminds me of a great story, once the great and legendary fleet admiral chester nimitz was being transported in a sea plane in san Francisco when it went down in the water. It wasn’t a terrible crash and they ended up transferring into a lifeboat wrapped in blankets for warmth, Chester was standing up for one reason or another when a brand spankin new 18 year old coxswain yelled at him and basically said “if you moved maybe we could get something done, and sit down you” basically the 1940s “sit yo ass down” to which nimitz did just that but as he did his arm was exposed just enough for the sailor to see the most amount of stripes he had ever seen. Upon realizing he had just yelled at the commander and chief of the pacific fleet among many other things he immediately turned red and stumbled to apologize to which Nimitz replied “stick to your guns sailor, you were quite right” and that is the mark of our greatest flag officer in the history of this nation.
Actually we did this in the AF. When I was trained as a SF we were told the base, the planes, and everything we guarded was more important than some officer or senior enlisteds feelings. We actually had a few incidents with officers and higher enlisted. They would go and cry to the unit commander who would than let the base general know. Base general was hardcore and loved her SF. She had our backs 100%. It’s the weirdest feeling seeing a general escort some colonel to come apologize to you for him being an asshole. It was surreal
Yup, the UCMJ applies regardless of rank, We as Security Forces are allowed to give any one regardless of rank corrections or tickets/apprehend (if need be) if they broke the law. Still have to give respect though lol. Joined SF after 6 years of being Infantry
When were you in? Or are you still in?
Bonker still in 2nd year of my second contract 8 years total so far
Yep, it was that way when I was in doing flight line or guard shack or ATOC duty's, we had the juice, an NO officer could upsurp our duty's, or refuse ID' or gain entry without prior approval. Sure they could try, but would realize that this kid didn't play an meant what he said, with all due respect SIR. AFSP
So YOU'RE the reason we spent 15 minutes on "Do NOT, EVER, NOT EVEN ONCE, say Dont confuse your rank with my authority"
In all honesty, if someone is in the wrong, they are in the wrong no matter if they are an E1 or O1, or Chief of Staff, rules and regs and the UCMJ supersedes all ranks. And further more it pisses me off when someone legitimately tries to use their rank to get out of any form of accountability. Had a Lt Col, threaten me with his rank if I didn't lie for his PT test results, and that made me sick to my very core... (I'm not saying I stood up, I'm saying I lied because I was an E3 on a super small base where everyone knew everyone, and did not have a snow ball chance in hell with fighting it, it would have been my word against an O5's word)

@@d.b.5070 *wasn't grading the PT test, I was taking the PT test.... Secondly you can have an E3 grade a PT test...It is part of the personnel job code for the USAF....Since part of their job is working on the gym on base....Secondly the only reason why I was counting in the first place, was because the way they did it is, one person does the exercise, and the other person that is also taking the test counts for that person, then when the time limit comes up the person collecting scores comes down the line, one by one, and asks for the numbers. Then once all the numbers are gathered, the person that was counting switches places and becomes the person taking the test, and the other person counting their repetitions, and the person that just did the sit ups is now counting. I didn't think that I would have to explain this. But please do show the link in R bullshit I would love to see it. Do other branches not do it like this, where you have a line of people taking the pt test, and they pair them up in twos, where one person counts the push ups/sit ups, and then switch roles after the time limit is up?*

You want sympathy look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis!
I work in the DFAC for the Air Force and I was really chummy with our LT. (Prior enlisted, huge prankster. Great guy). And I made the mistake of saying to him "Hey sir, how about you make me the burger today?"
He laughed his ass off because we were just shooting the shit, but our 1SGT heard and she was pissed. She pulled me in an office and let me have it. As soon as I was told to get back to my post at the grill line, my LT hands me a plate with a hamburger on it.
Lt. Anderson, God bless you.
Lol I yelled at my SDS and 1SG once, safe to say that I died that day and some random recruit got smoked with me.
When I was an E5 (in the Army), had a butter bar try to tell me to let him in my Arms Room. “Not happening, sir.”
He through a fit and said, “I AM AN LT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?”
This dipshit got to the unit 3 days prior and I looked at him and said “I’ve been promoted 4 more times than you?”
Butter bar tried to tell me to do push ups, but an officer can’t smoke an enlisted. So, I went and called the CO to come down and get his new LT.
CO must not of liked him because he sent the Sergeant Major down who hated all LT’s to run him off. I never saw an officer get cursed out before. Made my day!
That’s great lol. Definitely don’t recommend doing that as a private, especially in basic. Wait til you been an NCO for a few years then when you get a fresh butter bar you can yell at them a little bit when they need it.
anthonyd28 agreed. I never appreciated being dogged for JUST being an LT. Especially prior service LTs. We need the tough love when we need it.
I am a 88a LT and I approve of this message! Lol LT was probably new as well. Didnt know how to handle the situation.

"Don't confuse your rank with my authority" is actually a very appropriate response to an officer trying to pull rank while being belligerent and trying to circumvent the rules. You don't start with that, but if they try to pull rank, nope, you shut them down, respectfully. Anyone saying otherwise, like the butter bar doing the training, like knew who had them, and an officer can't be getting shown up by a pvt. Some officers need to be taken down several pegs. Being an officer does not mean you're god's gift to the world, it simply means who have to make the decisions and ultimate authority rests with you, nothing more. You're not better trained, better educated, none of it. Also, I'm an officer and constantly reinforce this to my enlisted. I'm not special, smarter, better trained, or anything else like that. I simply have to make the decisions and take responsibility when those decisions produce less than desirable results, and also provide a shit screen from higher up so they can do their jobs effectively.
Great post! Loved reading this detailed response. Glad there are still service members that actually have good insight on our military. As a former NCO and as of yesterday a retire LTC, one thing the new military should remember is "chain of command". In this scenario, the private should have went up to the squad leader, platoon Sgt etc. and notified his chain. If the officer felt disrespected in any way, it should have came the other way down. Officers are definitely not gods gift to the world, and we seen many Generals roofed off for recruit level mistakes. As an officer, I felt I should rarely have direct interaction with any private unless its a morale function for example family day, holiday meals, etc or directed to by the subordinates chain of command. Tony, really thank you for your service...
>Also, I'm an officer and constantly reinforce this to my enlisted. I'm not special, smarter, better trained, or anything else like that.
Damn I wish you could tell that to my LT
Don't confuse your rank with my ability to not give a fuck, sir.
@@Scroolewse You can, if you catch him acting foolish around enlisted, and punish it for him enough. There are plenty of stories of LTs trying to pull rank on E8s and getting very angry phone calls from high ranking officers shortly thereafter.

He acted like he had a weapon along with his buddy so I locked and loaded and told them both hit the muther fucking ground now or die the choice is yours. They hit the ground and the MP came and took them away. I stood in front of the post commander and he said good job it was a test . Then asked if I would have shot them both ? I said yes with cause or malice . Thus I became his driver. Lol

Never break character, you should of toughed it out.
I was on a roving patrol for the camp guard when there was a real terrorism threat from the I.R.A. We were tactically moving around camp after midnight, fully armed, and my oppo behind me called me over as he had seen the orderly officer following us. I said, no, it's a fucking terrorist. So we walked him passed the assault course where we set a trap and ambushed him. He started saying well done lads, etc trying to calm us after issuing a challenge to him so I cocked my rifle and let the safety off, nick click on an SLR. And ordered him to the ground where we kicked him over and pulled the balaclava off his head. Pardon the pun, we did it just for kicks, my oppo was not comfortable with it but we didn't break character. Needless to say we got a lovely pat on the back next day from our RSM whilst the rest of the shift got beasted all day with no sleep for not doing their job correctly.
We had an LT in the briefing with third party training and we had an LT saying something profoundly stupid. There were about 50 of us there. One of the E6's said "Sir, just shut up and push". The LT was shocked that an enlisted member would say this. He looked to the CO for top cover and the CO said "what are you looking at me for!? Do what the man said!" He was shocked, so he knocked out 20 four-counts and got up. He never opened his mouth again. From that point on he kept his mouth shut and his ears open and turned out to be one of the best leaders I ever had the privilege to serve with.
A story my old E6 TL told us was he had a fresh LT hop in his JERRV during pre-deployment training and the LT said "act like I'm not here". My TL, an E4 at the time, said "sir, just sit down, shut up, and maybe you'll learn something". LT said "Excuse me!?" My TL repeated " I said, sit down and shut up and maybe you'll learn something!". The LT looked at my TL's TL (an E6) and said "Your SPC just mouthed off to me!" The E6 repeated, "Sir, sit down shut up and maybe you'll learn something!" The LT was dumbfounded, he couldn't really get out because the truck was already moving at this point. But when he did, he went and complained to the CO who said "Well, did you learn anything?" He too was quiet after that.

I had a lovely encounter with a 2LT, brand new and fresh out of school. I was a 45K at the time (had maybe 2 years in, if that) working on an Abrams and in the process of pulling the breach block. 2LT started playing with the overhead crane controller for some damn reason. I tried to be polite and respectful; while I was in the process of getting down from the turret to retrieve the controller, the breach finally came off of the bolts and pinned the kid inside (nothing too bad, only broke his glasses).
After we get the kid inside out of the tank, I (a lowly PFC at the time), started lambasting this 2LT like I lost my damn mind. Really long story short, he left and not long after, my squad leader, platoon sergeant and Chief appeared and started my ass chewing.
I then had to go see First Sergeant, who decided to chew it some more. I thought for sure that I was going back to becoming an E-Nothing private. Top took me into the commander’s office and I got my ass chewed yet again. In the end though, no article for me...no extra duty and no loss in rank...just several ass chewings. Best part was that 2LT never came into the shop again and he avoided me (a goofy ass PFC) like the plague.
When the orders are unclear, it's the fault of the general - Sun Tzu.
"I might've not said some things" - Your drill sergeant should've had you better prepared.

As an E-3 I had an incident with an O-6, the next 0-6 in line for 0-7 in fact! See, I'd given a hazard report to the COL's "Sexetary" 3-wks prior, with a suspense of 5-working days, to avoid sending it thru base distribution and incurring further delays I always dropped off and picked up my reports in person. Anyhow, the secretary lost the report, 3x! Now in those days we used electric typewriters and if you made any mistakes you had to start over because COL's didn't accept reports with either typos or correction fluid/tape smudges, at least that COL didn't! So naturally by the 3rd time I was pretty pissed and I proceeded to ask the secretary if she actually read the suspense date, you know, the big 1" high red ink stamp in the upper left hand corner, she proceeded to tell me she was busy and didn't have time to read everything that came across her desk, at which point my stupid ass replied "but isn't that your job"? At this point the COL (soon to be General) kicked his office door open, stormed out and said, "You, Airmen, GTFO of my office before you piss me off"! I responded by snapping to attention, saluting, saying yes sir, about faced and marched out! It was a block to the ramp and about 100 yards to get back to the control tower/fire station, and as I started getting close I realized there were 3 people standing there watching and waiting for me, my commander (0-5) ,the fire chief (E-9) and my civilian A/C (GS-10). My commander says "What in the hell did you say to that COL", I told my story, the chief just glared at me and marched off, apparently to pissed off to speak, and my A/C just shook his head grinning! See, in those days HQ would inspect us frequently, and one of the main things they looked for was busted suspense dates, 3-4 of those and you fail, and if you fail the squadron fails, the group fails, and the wing fails, and then you can look forward to a month long exercise with 12-hr shifts 7-days a wk wearing MOPP-4 Chem gear and doing firefighting exercises 3-4 times a day, dragging MA1A barrier webbing and cables, dragging firehose and 175 lb dummies, etc... and then a new I G. Inspection! So it was literally drilled into us to never bust a suspense date, so they really couldn't say much to me for trying!
THIS! I remember getting this "setup" by my senior DS in basic training as well. Fast forward years later to the dirty 630 and I was having a bad day on patrol. Pulled over a Major for rolling through a stop sign. Barely got past the formalities of who I was and why I pulled him over and he was flapping his gums off about who he was and how I'll get in trouble for attempting to issue him a citation. It was at that very moment where I blacked out and said the greatest words an MP could say to anyone (in a clam and firm MP voice), "Sir don't confuse your rank with my authority." Handed him the citation and the look he gave me was pure shock. 5 minutes later SPC Kirven was standing tall at the PMO getting a firm talking too. hahah! Good times!

Saw a dude look in the window (it was dark out, and I couldn't make out his flash on that beautiful red beret). Asked my Specialist "I wonder what the F he wants." As his eyes got huge, and he turned, I noticed that it was just a little EAGLE on the beret. The freaking Brigade commander stormed in and asked me "Do you know who I am" (not at the time!), and "What did you say?" (I fibbed).
Needless to say, my desk was moved and I was ordered to never look out the window again.

The MAJ had disrespected my soldiers, was wrong (and he knew it) with a later 'regret' voiced to me (close to a apology). The matter stayed between us where I didn't smoke him with his superiors.
The MAJ and my Soldiers, it seemed, respected me for my handling of the matter.
Your service is indeed appreciated. Best wishes, a LTC, MP.
3:46 u put so much face expression in that omg 😂😂
I actually said the same thing to a Lt. Colonel at Westpointe in 1988 during graduation and again in Saudi in 1991. It worked once and the other time I got the Captain involved.
I had something similar happened to me as a contract security officer at a government building and I had to actually tell a member of the Board of Commissioners no because they arrived during a unscheduled security drill and where they wanted to go was considered restricted to all staff during the exercise., so been there done that and I definitely got the T-shirt. Sometimes people don't understand no means no irregardless rank or authority we're just trying to keep you and ourselves in one piece
This is like the "chem light batteries", "box of grid squares", "bottle of squelch", PRC-E7, and "go test check the M1A1 Abrahams armor with a ball pin hammer" tricks.
Y’know, going for MP doesn’t sound too bad..91B all the way, but you guys have never ending stories
Navy here, I had just made 3rd and we had a new Divo come in and he thought he was going to be a damn Capt within a week. He was even talking shit to our Senior Chief... Dude got jacked up by multiple NCOs, I even had to write him up for not having on a TLD in a Reactor space. Didnt realize that underway, it doesnt matter what you have on your collar, the reactor watch was in charge. he didn't last long
“DONT CONFUSE YOUR RANK WITH MY AUTHORITY. Download World of Warahips!”
He knew it was a good hook
I know a Ranger that played loud music after hours... a pv2 shows up asking for him to turn it down... he said ok, closes the door turns it up. Later he shows up again. The pv2 said the exact same line while poking the Ranger in the chest with each word. The Ranger knocks out the private and several more MPs jump out of the bushes beating down the Ranger with nightsticks
A battle of who is hated more: MPs and Butter Bars
O1E's are an exception though
My granddad was a MP with Co. A , 797th Mp's attached to the 3rd Service Command during WWII. He was clearing out a bar off base one night that the Division Commander happened to be at. The Major General asked under whose authority he was closing the bar under, my grandfather replied, " Yours Sir." My grandfather was promoted the next day from PFC to Sergeant E-5.
I thought this was going to be about a time where you had an Lt trying to re-learn Land Nav and got lost, and you yelled at him to stop taking random turns and try to find a ridgeline so you could figure out a way back.
Dude I busted up laughing in my work lunch room haha. So awesome my man!!
When he talked about the sponsor he sounded dead inside
Keep up the good work Pvt. Hernandez... Real Talk Great content Peace!!!
"Sir, do not confuse your rank with my authority"
*cuts to ad*
Homie would sit with his mama or grandma watching soap operas. His start commercial game is on point. Just as you are so hyped to hear the rest of his story bam commercial promo.
Damned if you follow orders Damned if you don't 😂🤣
I love how there was always the rank complex. "Did you just take my m9 from me specialist?!" "Yes sir you were killing the clearing barrel for no reason"
Lol you can tell he doesn't give a rats ass about warships. I love this dudes sarcasm.
Funny AF! I definitely had a few of those too! Also to include barking at my Chief, E9, the third day after me getting to my first operational unit! Thankful not at Ft Lost in the Woods Misery!
Only tickets I ever wrote, were to those that said I couldn’t.
Sounds like you shouldnt be writing tickets
@@CriticalSurvival0 why? If you are a leader, you should be leading by example, and not trying to use your rank to get out of any form of accountability of your disregard of the rules and regulations set forth by your branch of service, and the UCMJ.
@@JohnSmith09123 haha
@@CriticalSurvival0 what a rebuttal.
These storytimes are really funny and intersting! Btw that ad transition was as smooth as sandpaper ngl 🤣
That whole ad before he says what happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great story. I have a similar on dealing with officers in sonar control on a Navy ship. It turned ou an E3 doesn't necessarily control the space based on his A school. 🤣🤣🤣
I almost yelled out our XO when he called me out for not have a round in the chamber when we came back from mission at the clearing barrels in Iraq; I had a 249 :P
I subbed brother cause I really like your uploads. Thanks for the laughs but more importantly, thank you for your service. We wouldn't be who we are or what we are if it weren't for brothers/sisters like you. Thanks so much for your service and sacrifices.
Should have named the video "two boots yell at each other during traffic stop".
What's even better is when you smell alcohol on the breath of a Field Grade coming back on post as you are checking their ID. But, while you are contiplating a course of action that will not ruin their career, the the driver panics and flies off the handle and asks for the OIC. That's when you broadcast it over the net (instead discretely using a landline) that you may have a possible DUI and request the presents of the OIC. Now the Command Post and everyone else knows what's going on and it can't be hidden.
I had an LT behind me in line at a gas station tell me to hurry up cause was I taking my time to choose a pack of gum and me being an SPC turned and said what and he stood there in silence
SPC is probably the best rank in the army. You get out of most of the shit jobs they give privates, and you have almost no responsibility.
@@douglaswilliams6834 Like Petty Officers 2nd Class (E5) in the Navy. Happy Days! The only thing that got better when I made 1st Class (besides the extra $$ when the pay caught up with my 3rd chevron) was, better coffee in the 1st Class Mess.
Is it true that becoming an SPC, your rank won't advance any further?
Dixcico a quick copy paste answer Promotion to corporal is considered a lateral appointment. The Army can laterally appoint a specialist serving in a sergeant, E5, position to corporal because the slot calls for a noncommissioned officer. However, the Army might fill a sergeant slot with a private first-class,
@@dixcico5052 No it's not.
Honestly though, there’s a time and place for everything. Back in the Corps we had a saying. Walk your post from flank to flank and take no shit from any rank. If you’re on duty, you represent the CO. Just make sure you’re on the right side, and don’t be stupid. There’s a way to be firm while being respectful.
Rank don’t mean anything if they disrespecting you🤷🏼♂️. This had me rolling lol
Fort Lost In The Woods Missouri... that's where I did my construction equipment operations training, (Tech School), for the Air Force.
I remember using that line as a USAF SP.
This is funny. This statement somehow crossed over into the Air Force. One day I was in the office working on a plan (we all know the Air Force loves to plan) with a CMSgt (E-9). A Security Forces TSgt (E-6) came in and was talking to us. All of a sudden he dropped the confuse your rank with my authority line on the Chief. The Chief had a great personality and everybody liked him. The Chief’s eyes bugged out and I thought uh-oh!The Chief said WTF and started laughing. The TSgt immediately deflated and everything was back to normal. So, I can definitely relate to this story!
Stephen Johnston shit that never happened for $500 Alex
Ummm, Dude. I spent 33 years in and it did happen. So
I was somehow very lucky with my insubordination... Lol I've yelled at a Sgt. Openly argued and disrespected a warrent while sitting down with my feet on the table while the the commander and Top were standing behinder. ,while sending first sergeant memes of her while she was yelling at me.(she was bad mouthing everyone when she was the only one who failed the evaluation) And on several occasions refused to salute a certain LT (chode). now never do any of this. But..... Lol i was in air defense and there they do kinda push the common sense that nomatter the rank ,if a individual is more knowledgeable about the task at hand then people of rank that know nothing need to just bow out... It's a thought that some officers don't respect but some are chill. I was a specialist ...... Everyone respects the mafia lol
Because a good SPC knows his or her job like the back for their hand and won’t take shit from someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about. They make great NCOs later because they aren’t kiss asses they have a fucking BACKBONE
Joe Bloniarz shit that never happened for $500 Alex!
@@markregan8907 Yea man like what the eff is wrong with these "soldiers" bro. I'm glad i went to basic where I went...
A couple oldies come to mind.
When Barney Fife pulls over the son of the Governor & writes him a ticket. Or when Gomer Pyle...under orders from his LT to not let anyone into a certain area without the correct papers or some such...prevents that SAME LT from entering because the LT didn't have the papers. In both of these cases though they were commended...the former by the Governor himself that someone had the nerve to put his son in his due place and the latter by the base CO despite the objections of the LT.
That line has gotten so many day 1 privates scuffed up!
Heard the same thing brother in 1999. Delta Co 787 MP BN! Heard a SSG tell a second LT on a gate stop one time at gate 4 Ft Campbell to chill out because he had underwear that had been promoted more times than him LOL 😂
Lol as a private I avoided all rank as a lance I mouthed off like it was my job🤣
Ex USAF here, once as an E3 and once as an E-4 I lost my mind on two different full bird colonels. One was trying to get me to commit a felony and the other hit me with his car on purpose. I cussed the s#!t out of both of them for several minutes and got away with it both times. Zero trouble, but a lot of incredulous head shaking from my supervisors. I can’t believe no one ever said anything to me about it...
OMG!!! I can’t stop laughing 😂 OUTSTANDING PVT!!
Coolest thing ever? Being army national guard, and for my "civilization job" a base police officer for the Navy.
Just FYI on the battle ship ad: "Japanese" has 2 A's and 2 E's.
It's nice how they teach you stuff thatll get you in trouble. Now that I think about it, the whole world does that.
i see a combat veteran is starting to do the same thing as swoozie lol.
Bro, I pulled that same shit a few years back, I stopped this MSG for a failure to stop and when I got to his window after he finally pulled over and bro, it smelled like dude woke up drinking alcohol...he started in on me, telling me the whole "do you know who I am" routine...yeah I gave him the forbidden 'line'...I pulled extra duty that weekend but it was worth it
