Command sergeant major

I was 1501 in Alaska.

He was my CSM.

And then he helped me get to 2nd Brigade 82nd where he was my brigade CSM.

Yep, that's

what we were talking about.

But I guess it wasn't that big a deal.

But boy, it was good to ask you.

I don't think there's anybody that we all talked to hasn't got their ass chewed by Jackie some way or the other, you know? So, you know, when he, when I had him, I had him, I used my CSM when I was a fucking first sergeant.

Just like Wall said, he was the...

Command Sergeant Major.

He was in Tenement Square when the Chinese took over.

And he said he

retired as a Command Sergeant Major, which he did not.

Right.

But he didn't.
