I pulled a butterbar and a WO2 out of a burning bird.

I gather they put you in for a medal for saving the WO2; but, withdrew the paperwork when they found out you also saved a butterbar.

A Chief Warrant Officer (CW2) is, like a NCO, experienced from having been around. A 2nd Lieutenant (O1, single gold bar - a.k.a. "butterbar") is a newbie officer.

I'm proud that I'm not afraid to try building or fixing mechanical stuff and that I'm teaching those same skills to my son. I only wish my daughter had the slightest interest.

This way the kid will have great stories how he learned this or that word, and how the old man lost those fingers.
