That is funny because there really is a military term 'Acting Sergeant.' It actually means a specialist (E-4) or Corporal (E-4) that has assumed the role and responsibility of a Sergeant but not the pay yet. :o) No, for me it became handy when I became an interrogator. A LOT of acting in that job.
>>Habit of mine only. I took theatre courses in college (way back when) and my professors were very specific in having us use 'theatre' not 'theater' at that time. It stuck. The courses were fun and really came in handy when I was in the military. :o)

>How, when you became Acting Sergeant? Because you could be in a theatre of war? :-)
