Yeah, those bullet stoppers (11B's) are not supposed to be known for their intelligence. Then again, us 13B's (gun bunnies, cannon cockers) aren't either according to some.
When I was in Bad Krueznach Germany with 1st Armored Division Headquarters back in February 1993 I had a 13E (Fire Direction Specialist) come up to me after seeing my combat patch from the 75th BDE Ft. Sill and ask what unit did I go to combat with in in the 75th BDE. After telling him he said that he knew all of the 13E's from that Bn and did not know me. When I told him I was a 13B he asks what I was doing at the division level working and that 13B's were not intelligent enough for that level. 13E's are supposed to be the brains of the artillery according to them and many act like jerks. He was an E-7 and me being an E-6 at the time I guess he figured he could say whatever he wanted to since he out ranked me. That did not go over well and after me basically telling him to kiss my ass, I told him to take it up with the division CSM.
He did just that as he walked away from me down the hall to the CSM's office and closed the door behind him. It was not a minute or so later I heard the CSM yelling at him and telling him that he makes the decisions on who works at this level and that I was working directly for him. After telling him to get out of his office, he sheepishly walked pass me and I raised up my hands with palms facing out and a smirk on my face as if to ask; "What now dumbass". He and I never got along.
