Sarnt Major, why are they referred to as "General officers" and not just "Generals"?rgrpuck wrote:Why is it that people loose their fucking minds around General officers ?
Seriously, I hear that term a lot and never understood it.
We don't say "Captain officers" or "Lt. officers". :?

You're right, but we do say Junior Officers, Field Grade Officers and General Officers to distinguish the differences. Just like we have Junior Enlisted, NCOs and Senior NCOs. The USMC calls E-7 and above "Staff NCO" and the Navy call them "Chiefs".cams wrote:Sarnt Major, why are they referred to as "General officers" and not just "Generals"?rgrpuck wrote:Why is it that people loose their fucking minds around General officers ?
