Hi from Arizona

And just when you thought you had the Spanglish figured out, a name word turn out to be Native American.

I arrived at DM in late '98. I was assigned to the 612 Air Communications Squadron. I retired in late '00 after a 30+year career, I was a 3C… Our unit also had several Wage Board Workers (blue collar version or Government Service [GS]) and one was Native American who deeply resented my rank "Chief" Master Sergeant and as you know, we are usually addressed as "Chief." He had his own version of calling me "something" in Mescalero Apache… that vaguely sounded like "Cochise" but not in a complimentarily way…
