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.
