My understanding of the term RHIP (rank has its privileges) goes back quite some time, but I see little need to display it on a message board. There are many posters who are new around here, yet still gain my respect. But, then again, my perceptions could be skewed due to previous experiences. I remember going into the bush in Viet-Nam and never pinning on my rank, but I digress. Different situations. Different meanings. Different repercussions.
