Well I guess according to the Italians and Belgians I'm a Major now. This all began back a week or so ago when an Italian officer came in asking for "Major" Kerby. I'm like, "Well I'm Kerby but I'm no Major." He continued to stand at the most rigid attention I'd ever seen while telling me what he was there for. I kept telling him to relax but I guess he got stuck in that position.
Next was a phone call asking for "Major" Kerby. Again I try and explain but I guess my Italian wasn't that good.
Today the base Security officer, a Belgian captain who has to report security issues through me as his higher HQ, says, "I know you are a civilian but you are like a Major, yes?"
I gave in. Sure just refer to me as Major. 2 Nations down, 26 more and all of NATO will think I'm a Major. Not sure which country's uniform insignia to wear though. Maybe a different one each week so they don't get jealous or think I'm showing favoritism.
