Chain of command gets blurry when order of operations comes into play.

"Yuma ATC Tower, Lcpl Dunaway speaking."
"Who's in charge?"
"I am."
"No, who's in charge?"
"Me. Lcpl Dunaway. How can I help you?"
"Put a Staff NCO on the *expletive deleted*ing phone!"
Hands phone to Staff Sgt working ground control
Quick conversation ensues
"Let me put you on the phone with the tower supervisor"
Hands me back the phone...
