Ah, DOD civs don't count... Just kidding, glad you do what you do. I should probably shut up now, I don't look forward to explaining why or how I pissed off a GS-15, especially when my grade ends with a "1."

Looks like I am a little late to jump in this thread, but here goes:

Originally enlisted in USN as nuclear Machinist Mate almost 16 years ago. Now I am a LCDR (O-4) serving as the "ENG" on the absolute newest submarine in the fleet - so new, it is still in parts.

Served on SSN and SSBN previously. Nice to see a lot of nukes out there!

You must be an officer - an elisted guy would correctly assume that people posting in a "Military Titan Talk Members" thread would know what grade a LCDR is, and not feel it necessary to explain...

[Sammy Sandbag]

Well if you are Navy it would be easy to tell. Us ground pounders have no clue what you're talking about. I'd have no clue what grade a Lt. Commander is.

[Austin]

Well, no one ever accused foot soldiers of being too smart... even if they have been educated...

[Sammy Sandbag]

Soldier of the sky here, but still don't expect me to know every services' rank structure, especially the enlisted ranks. Deck Swabbie's Mate Third Class and what not.

Of course no one would ever tax your mental capabilities to the point of expecting you to know something as complex and as complicated as the elisted rank structure of the United States Navy...

[Sammy Sandbag]

At least they know my limits. I made the mistake already of calling everyone at Pensacola a Seamen, only later did I find out that they are airmen. I was under the impression that only the AF had airmen. Apparently the Navy is broken down into seamen, airmen, and firemen. I'll just save myself the added effort and call them all sailor.

[SUBTITAN]

sammy, don’t they teach you that in officer candidate school or WestPoint?
