Looks like you might need to go with the naval ranks. Otherwise a promoted Lieutenant Cat might be considered your equal.

If they are enlisted:
Private E-1
Private First Class E-2
Lance Corporal E-3
Corporal E-4
Sergeant E-5
Staff Sergeant E-6
Gunnery Sergeant E-7
Master Sergeant E-8
First Sergeant E-8
Master Gunnery Sergeant E-9
Sergeant Major E-9
Sergeant Major Of The Marine Corps E-9

If they are officers:
Second Lieutenant O-1
First Lieutenant O-2
Captain O-3
Major O-4
Lieutenant Colonel O-5
Colonel O-6
Brigadier General O-7
Major General O-8
Lieutenant General O-9
General O-10

Thanks, everyone. I'm kinda digging "Commander" Cat and such.

If they pass me up in rank, it's OK. You always hope your kids do better than you did, right?

Doesn't count. He said "military".

Corporal and Specialist are the same rank, E-4.

Corporal and Specialist are the same rank, E-4.

Unlike a Specialist, however, a Corporal is a junior non-commissioned officer and may direct the activities of other soldiers.

They get paid the same.

Have you hugged your privates today?

But the coporal is an NCO.

Things have changed. Back in the day all E-4s were junior NCOs, in fact, outside of the grunts you rarely saw a hard stripe E-4.

I make the same amount of money as my buddy at stillwate mine, but that doesn't make me a geologist. I think you are just splitting hairs here.

Actually, I think it's you that's splitting hairs. I was in charge of troops as a Sp4 and NCOIC of the Powertrain/Prop&Rotor Shop. But that was 30+ years ago when they still had Sp5s and even the occasional Sp6.

Q - Do Corporals still exist

A - Yes

BTW, I'm sure Cap'n Cat will make sure that both will get the allowance of an E-4 if Lieutenant Cat gets busted down to Specialist Cat and Corporal Cat gets no promotion.

Sergeant Major Dickerson (from Good Morning, Vietnam) : "If you mess with me, I'll make you wish you died as a child! Your ass is grass and I'm a lawnmower! Do I make myself quite clear?"

Well, The Cap'n has reviewed the records of Lieutenat Cat and Corporal Cat and has made a decision.

Lieutenant Cat is promoted to Commander Cat and Corporal Cat has to work on his getting-along-with-Mama Cat skills. He'll be reviewed again in September.


"Next time you smart back to Mommy, boy, this rifle butt will be shoved up your tiny ass, you hear me, soldier?!?!?!"

Z,
I'm just curious, what did you do in the Navy? How long were you in?

22 years, started as E-2 (Fireman Apprentice), ended as O-4, Lieutenant Commander, Surface Warfare Officer qualified. I was Lt Roberts, Ensign Pulver, Captain Queeg (sp?), etc.
