Hispanic female TI sir. Double stiles on that one.<br /><br />She made me repeat the following in front of everyone that she told to go past me in line behind me, "NCOs are not sirs they work for a living and I am too stupid to know the difference between males and females" until about 15-20 recruits were bumped ahead of me in line. I didn't get to finish my whole meal because the rest of my barracks we're done ahead of me.<br /><br />Good times!
