Ivan:          Oh wow.


               Bob:           So there’s a big aspect of the Tuskegee Airmen (movie) that really doesn’t go into
                              the minute details of the entire Tuskegee Airmen and what was going in there.

               Ivan:          ….everyone that you hear that has one of those famous names has some kind of
                              officer  rank  attached  to  them.  I  don’t  know  how  a  flight  officer  would  be
                              addressed. Like if I was talking about an enlisted person I might say 'technical
                              sergeant’ or ‘master sergeant' in recent times or 'staff sergeant.'

               Bob:           Well a warrant officer is usually above the sergeant.


               Ivan:          Right, but how would you address them if I was saying their name, warrant officer
                              so and so?

               Bob:           No you address them as sir…

               Ivan:          But if you were calling them out would you say 'Warrant officer Johnson?'

               Bob:           Yeah that’s his rank. Yeah.


               Ivan:          Okay.

               Bob:           If he’s is a flight officer, then he’s flight officer so and so, instead of lieutenant so
                              and so.

               Ivan:          Did they put them in the same barracks with officers?

               Bob:           Yeah.

               Ivan:          Because I know they couldn’t put them in with the enlisted okay.


               Bob:           Yeah they are in the same barracks.

               Ivan:          I have never heard of that. I mean in all the interviews, movies...

               Bob:           I’m giving you a lot of great stuff.
