Still not a name. “My name is John Smith and I’m a staff sergeant” is fine. “My name is Staff Sergeant Smith” is just silly and makes a person look full of themselves.
That’s quite literally how members of the military the world over refer to themselves and each other, rank and name, both written and spoken. Bottom to top members of the military, Pvt Schmuckatelly to the Commander and Chief is called by rank and name, which is often President [name] or King [name].
I’m pretty sure “SSG” isn’t a part of his name.
Staff sergeant

You sound silly and full of yourself.
I just dislike the military way of doing… everything. So not surprising this part annoys me too.
In their minds it sounds distinguished like “doctor so and so”. He isn’t even full of himself; they stomp out individuality.
