Nah,
Just one of those E-8's who has never been anything other than a Guardsman and yet to make a Deployment in 22 years...
You know the type, the Douchebag...
It's simply amazing how some of the higher ups manage to avoid deployments. I deployed in '09 with a full bird who's never been on one, and multiple O-3 and up newbies and a couple SGM that have never deployed. I liked most of them, so I won't talk bad about them individually, it's just a flawed system where an E-4 can have 2-4 deployments and an E-8 can have none.
