Your not kidding, when I joined the ART program (SMCO), it was a bit confusing to have Msgts out banging rivits and painting planes all reperatered up. Just regular wage grade civilian wearing the uniform during the week. To add to the confusion, at my base we work right along side the active duty and its pretty much their show. It's usually an active 7 level staff or tech making the calls. Pretty common for a pro-sup to roll up looking for answers from a master only to be referred to the staff shift supervisor.
