Klaiber Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share 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".

Ewald Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Congratulations to all. Just getting caught up from being away. Ricky you are correct regarding tradition.
