I retired in January as a 20+ year Air Force Senior NCO...I hear and understand every word you said!

What's worse than getting a request from a brand spanking new second lieutenant through email after duty hours? Getting an order from one after duty hours. I had the good luck to have prior service 2LTs in my organization for the most part, so this situation occurred very infrequently, but we DID have a few real fresh "butterbars" that needed breaking in. And they'd never ever heard of the rule "ask your Senior NCOs before you embarrass yourself." Imagine that!
