Guys, Ain't the first time I've been ribbed for doing my job. As long as the person that is doing the ribbing is a pro themselves I just laugh with them. When it's a rookie though, differant matter. they don't know enough, nor have been around enough, to involve themselves.
Rookie are not what they used to be, mostly cocky kids. I don't remember the last time one brought me a sandwich, or cleaned the snow off my truck. Seriously, when I was a rookie we did that stuff for the senior officers. We knew we relied on their experiance and they trained us. We appreciated their guidence.
Even today, if I advise a junior officer to do something, and it is wrong or they didn't understand me, I will and have stood before the man even though I don't have to.
