[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The campaign just changed Walz’s biography on their site from “retired Command Sergeant Major” to “served as a command sergeant major”. [/quote]

I still don't understand what the difference is. [/quote]

Walz was provisionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major but was required to complete some coursework. He ended up retiring without completing the coursework. Therefore, he reverted to his previous rank. So, Walz served as a Command Sergeant Major and was still a Command Sergeant Major the day before he retired, but he retired as a Master Sergeant (if I recall correctly).

The coursework is called the Sergeant Major Academy in El Paso TX. Walz either refused to attend or dropped out. I have seen a source that stated Walz dropped out of the Academy.

Once Walz either refused to attend the academy or dropped out, his promotion was terminated and he no longer had the right to be referred to as SGM or CSM.

Where are you sourcing the information in your post from? Link?[/quote]

The training course he needed to complete was 750 hours in length. Or 94 working days. That’s A LOT of training for someone in the National Guard with an outside career. It would take years to complete. He was given ranks, responsibilities, and insignia of a CSM, but not the pay. Gee, sounds just like the corporate world - more responsibility, a fancy title change, but no money.

He retired before he could complete the 750 hour course.[/quote]
