Era comum o sargento colocar um soldado em treinamento como chefe do grupo, chamado de xerife, para uma tarefa específica.
(...)
Por isso, ser xerife era o maior temor de todos, pois significava ridicularização certa. Vi meninos serem destacados como xerifes e caírem no choro.
Xerife, leve a tropa para o refeitório.

Discussion
"Dorm Chiefs and Element Leaders
The Dorm Chief is the top leader of recruits in the flight. He or she is responsible for making sure that all orders, standard ops, and instructions are carried out correctly when the T.I.'s aren't around. You won't make many friends if you're selected as Dorm Chief, but you will learn about how to be an effective leader."
