Congratulations! Now you can be an Officer and a Gentleman, instead of a knuckle dragger!

How many pairs of kneepads did you wear out? Does your mouth hurt?

My mouth's fine, but I'm walking a little funny...

Well done to you. In the good old UK Armed Forces, you would be called "Mister" even by HM Queen Elizabeth II. (I'm not a Monarchist, BTW) and once a upon a time you would recieve a Warrant signed by the Sovereign hence the term "Warrant Officer". After a while, it became the Chief of the General Staff (principal soldier), one old sweat I worked with claimed his had been signed by FM Montgomery (later "Viscount" - that's a senior Lord).

If you were in the RAF, you'd probably run it.

Congrats again.

Congratulations! Of course now you're going to have to change your screen name.

I was always terrified of my CWO - mean and proficient as an NCO with all the powers of an officer.
