I am not sure if this has been answered ( I did look), but I am curious as to why we (once we are a Veteran or Retired) still have the rank title in our names? I will be officially a disabled veteran on 11 June, and on 12 Jun, my title will no longer be SPC (P) Jay Heenan. I will just be Jay Heenan. I ask this, because often I notice that individuals that referred to as their rank even if they are no longer active, reserve or guard. I am not complaining, I am just curious that is all. ***EDITED on 31 MAY at 1938 hrs*** I owe each one of you an apology. I completely get why RP attaches our rank with our name as a Veteran (and retiree). I was reading all of the comments and I dawned on me that my issue was my own. I was angry at the things that happened to my while in the service that prevented me from being promoted. So I apologize for directing my anger at a place it had no business being. I am sorry and God Bless.
