J5_Hotlead Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Thank you Sir! Congrats to my other promoted squad mates too! BTW, what's an OffzSt? Quote
Klaiber Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Posted July 16, 2016 BTW, what's an OffzSt? The rank of Offizierstellvertreter is a senior noncommissioned officer. It literally means "officer deputy". It compares to a Royal Air Force "Acting Officer" and a US Army Air Service "Warrant Officer". J5_Hotlead 1 Quote
