Reviews of Wave 6!

I shared my reviews of Wave 5 with ya'll last month. Now that BBTS has come through with Wave 6, there's a new batch of reviews up at my toy-related blog:

Read, enjoy, comment, disagree, agree, praise, bash, what have you.

Technically, you broke RnR's rating down to tenths, not eighths ;)

But I'm inclined to agree with you on pretty much all points... great line!

I agree whole heartedly with your reviews with the exception of the rank thing. It all depends on which branch of service you're talking about. In the AF, however, an E-5 IS a SSgt. It is the first tier in the NCO rankings. Back in the day, an E-4 was called a "buck Sgt". Now an E-4 is a "Senior Airman". I'm not sure what the Army's rankings are but I'm pretty sure they're similar.

In the army, an E-5 is a SGT. an E-4 is a Specialist...

I actually went back and edited that, but apparently not fast enough. ;)

Damnit, I'm an English professor. The math is not my strong suit.

How long? I've been AF for about 11yrs. (Wow...come to think about it, that sounds like a long time). Just got back from the desert a little over a yr ago.

That is true also. I made E-4 Specialist back in 1997, but yes you are right, it could mean corporal too...
