NCO Stuff

A conversation where I work:

A major approaches two NCOs from my platoon having a quiet conversation off to the side.
Major - "Hey guys, what's going on here?"
Sergeant - "Oh nothing, just NCO stuff."
Major - "NCO stuff? Why's it gotta be for NCOs only? Why can't it be officer stuff?"
Sergeant - "Sir, if it were officer stuff then we'd be sitting down."

A pretty ballsy thing for an E-5 to say to an O-4, especially since they barely know each other, and the Major doesn't always appreciate jokes.

That's awesome.
