Army Captain is pretty low (same as Lt IIRC; Navy Captain = Army Colonel); this can lead to interesting situations when the services mix. Tony

Post #218,224 by CRConrad 8/8/05 6:22:25 PM Reply	Relax; he's got the wrong services. Wouldn't it be the Air Force that's most relevant here, Tony? (Which I ain't gonna comment on... Seeing how I just scrood up on the Gripen / F-117 thang.) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R. Conrad] (I live in Finland, and my e-mail in-box is at the Saunalahti company.) Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

Post #218,239 by tonytib 8/8/05 6:44:15 PM Reply	Yes, and they use Army terms thus there are no Commanders at all in the Army or Air Force, see [link\|http://www.defenselink.mil/specials/insignias/officers.html\|http://www.defenseli...ias/officers.html] So she's still demoted.... BTW, isn't the B-2, although later than the F-117, also inherently unstable? Tony
