I like Ken and is a nice guy. But the reason he's no longer a Sheriff, or at least stopped being a sheriff kinda depletes some of that respect.
Now Monte Gould, there's a fucking good guy.

I like Monte. He made NTC a good time.

We had a retired USMC Col. who came to the ship as a professor for the college afloat program. He'd been a platoon leader and company commander in Vietnam. I escorted him when he checked onboard to show him where everything was, and get his stuff to his state room. He introduced himself as Bill Sweeney, US Marine Corps, Retired. He had some stories. I found a recording he made for one of those history podcasts, but I can't find it any longer.

I thought it was odd he introduced himself that way, but he didn't push his rank around. I enjoyed his classes and talking to him. The guy we'd had before was a flamer from Cali. The difference was hilarious. Could have been pretty epic if they'd have met.

Nah aww! That Colonel did chicken right.    

It's a shame that the chain is now selling chicken wing sized pieces of grease soaked pigeon compared to what it once was.

There is a local guy that retired as an Army Lt. Colonel.  He's the chair of the a county party and signs correspondence as LTC(R).  Frankly, he's a dick head and pretty full of himself.  Often indicates that he's the best helicopter pilot the Army ever had.  Made a comment last week that, as a Lieutenant Colonel, he wasn't used to reacting to feedback from subordinates so we shouldn't take it personally when he doesn't listen to PCPs.    

Wondering when it's appropriate to use the title.

Mike Wray was an LTC?

A) He probably was a dogshit pilot, or not one at all.

B) Pilots rarely know shit about fuck when it comes to actually leading people, which would explain his dumbass comments about receiving feedback.

C) vets who act like this are generally never the type of person anyone actually liked serving with.  

ETA:

He is welcome to use whatever former job bullshit title he wants, and I always make a point to call idiots like this by a nickname at best.

This.

The only dumbass I recall using his rank as a title as a civilian was a dumbass cheapskate marine colonel.  He and his hag of a wife would sit at the local bar daily and drink their three drinks then have supper.  He never left a tip.  He was the douche that would rattle his ice in his upraised glass calling to the barmaid for an immediate refill. They hated him there, a self absorbed asshole.

Only address him as "Lieutenant" or "Sarge" from now until the day he dies and get as many other people to do so.

You:  I hear what you're saying, Lieutenant...

Him:  It's Lieutenant COLONEL

You:  Chill out, Sarge.

Call him assistant colonel.
