Many followers not familiar with the military are asking me “so what’s the big deal about a command sergeant major?”

Walz joined at 18 as a private. Rose through the NCO (sergeant) ranks, each requiring extreme competence at increasingly demanding jobs with more people & responsibility at every rank.

When you reach “Master Sergeant” you are selected to serve as a First Sergeant (1SG) of a unit…if you’re good enough. Then, those 1SGTs compete for selection to Sergeant Major. Only the best Sergeant Majors are selected for Command Sergeant Major (CSM) billets.

CSMs serve as the senior enlisted person in the unit and the advisor to Commanders at battalion and above. Having served with dozens of CSMs as my unit & command “battle buddy” I will attest they were all awesome.

They know what they’re doing. They uphold standards. They speak their minds to all ranks (private to generals). They’re not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong. And they serve the command (their commander and their soldiers) with a selfless integrity and a complete dedication.

During social events and informal occasions, they’re usually a whole bunch of fun. And they always have great stories. But they’re always professional.

So, those are my thoughts
on Command Sergeants Major. While I don’t know the details of @GovTimWalz career wearing the cloth of our country, just the fact that he volunteered to serve and wore the CSM rank tells me a lot about him.

Returning to Twitter after a 2 year break. What have I missed?

@Delta It is 1:37 a.m. at LGA. Despite the message that my bag was delivered, it has not been delivered. Your ground crew can’t get the carousel to work. Children are crying. Alarms. You should be embarrassed

[jeffrey sugerman @JeffreySugerman]

@Delta It gets better. The jetway is inoperable. We are being towed to another gate. It is 1:16 am. Hope you are sleeping well. This is pure operational stupidity. You owe all the passengers. Big time.

[jeffrey sugerman @JeffreySugerman]

Sitting on a plane waiting for a gate at LGA for more than 45 mins @Delta get your act together and stop blaming the “other” airline

When pursuing a corrupt politician, mobster or murderer on strong FBI evidence, if he "vehemently denied it," we just dropped it usually. https://t.co/d4HqyHQexB

@Delta Wow. That is a non-answer. It is not the flight attendant's problem, nor mine. Poor policy @Delta.
