I think that the Army is different from most. I had an uncle that made E4 several times, from below (obviously) and above, once for punching out his bird Colonel. He got an extra tour of Viet Nam (and a fourth Purple Heart) out of that punch. That was in the '60s. When I punched out some rival service members, (i.e., not Navy like me) I got 6 months in the brig, and they weren't even officers. Lost 2nd Class (E5) over that little set-to. That was in the '70s.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
