There are some things you should know about him so that you get the whole picture. My husband is a former Marine and currently in the National Guard. Between being in the military and having a touch of the OCD, he's kinda a neat freak. Me, on the other hand, well, let's just say that opposites attract. I like to organize things, but I'm not always necessarily very neat day in and day out. No "Domestic Goddess" here.

What else you should know....hhmmmm....man works his ASS off every day! When he's not at his "day job" as a firefighter, he works some days for the Guard. During mowing season he has his own lawncare business busting his ass in the sweltering summah heat, kicking grass and taking names! (That was one of my ideas for the business name but he wanted something a little more, well, business-minded). Anyway, my man is no slouch!
I think the most appropriate name I can come up with is The Sarge. He made it to the rank of Sergeant while in the Marine Corps and he is now a Sergeant in the Army National Guard, and he frequently tries to run our house like a military post. Good thing I'm around to flub that shit up!
My brother was in the Marine Corps as well. I once referred to him as a "former Marine" and he said, "There's no such thing as a former Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine." Fine with me. They're all heroes in my book. Andthat's what I thought you were going with, especially when I saw The Sarge is also a firefighter. But your nickname is perfect. Honored to be your inspiration!
