<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nIt seems that most of my day is taken up with answering emails and Facebook messages about the above pictured First Sergeant Albert Marle, so here’s the answer; yes, he’s a first sergeant assigned to Cadet Command (ROTC) and he’s in the National Guard. If you missed the story, a completely non-story emerged when a stewardess wouldn’t hang up the 1SG’s jacket and some well-meaning citizen decided to make an issue<\/a> of it. <\/p>\n An airline spokesman initially claimed that there was not enough space in the closet for the jacket, but passengers disagreed. <\/p>\n “Her response wasn’t that there’s not space in the coat closet or \u2018I’ve hung too many jackets up,\u2019 first-class passenger Brian Kirby told WSOC. “It was just simply, \u2018Our airline policy says I’m not going to do it, so I’m not going to do it.’ I was really appalled at not only the way she looked at him but the way she spoke to him in an angry type of attitude.”<\/p>\n The station reported that Marle took his seat, declining offers to swap places with first-class passengers. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n To his credit, 1SG Marle didn’t make an issue of the whole thing, but someone else did. And then everyone became suspicious of Marle because he had his hands in his pockets. Initial stories named him as Albert Marie and I couldn’t find that name in AKO, but then Bulldog at GoV straightened me out. I was also suspicious because of the basic jump wings on a senior NCO, but, there you go. Anyone who emails or messages me from this point forward will be called names in public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
