Well, better than weird thoughts whilst weilding a weapon, or driving a rig. >>The Enforcers use US Navy ranks (at least it looks like it), even >I dunno. Wasn't there a sergeant or two? Lieutenant and Captain >are widespread, and Commander is pretty generic. Seems a stretch. Ah but Commander *isn't* generic. In the States, the only branch of the armed services that has the rank of CDR is the Navy. But having said that, CDR Feral only seems to be drawn with 2 strips on his shoulder boards which makes him a Lieutenant. (Or at best a LCDR if we wanted to pretend that the middle strip isn't quite visible). >are somehow better than Sailors, are you? If so, I could tell you some >howlingy funny stories about the kind of pranks played on Marines aboard Marines are better than sailors! Now I wanna hear a story ;) >just seeing random things that don't mean anything. I'd vote for random.
