LOL well lets see if anyone can get it i will post the answer tomorrow. RE: A piece of Military trivia related to mustangs - Mustangmike - 08-12-2012 I am Navy veteran and familiar with the term Mustang as defined above. Looking to hone in more precisely to the answer, my research came up with this: It was a name the naval academy graduates referred to as thoroughbreds called the non commissioned officers who rose through the rank and file of the enlisted. The term Mustang ultimately became a badge of honor. RE: A piece of Military trivia related to mustangs - Victor.Gorea - 08-14-2012 your almost spot on the term refers to going through the enlisted ranks and making "Chief" or E-7 in the navy then commissioning as an officer a short time later. However the term only refers to E-7's that go officer not E-6 and below so the actuall term is for a Chief to go Officer and not only is it a great career choice but you are respected highly amongst other officers because of the prior enlisted time as a chief. |
