I just have to gripe once about dropping from Leftenant Colonel in the IW POD to Sergeant Major in the VE. Blastit to hell! Okay, I'm done. :-) Alright, now I get to get into my Sarge attitude. "Sir?! I work for a living soldier. You call me sir again and there won't be enough left of you for DNA id!" "You can't spell lost without LT" "Yeah, we gotcha LT. Now you just sit there with your maps and charts and let the professional soldiers handle it." "The difference between a Srgt Maj and a SLT is the Srg Maj has been promoted." "Watch out for people who's only qualification for command is a bigger paycheck." I may have inadvertenly offended my SLT CO with some of those... :-) ------------------ "Don't you pull rank on me young man!"

LOL! I caught one of those from Full Metal Jacket. Anyway, if a Fleet Admiral from the EH or another group joined the VE, unless he was needed in the higher ranks he would start out as a Private... consider yourself lucky  Major Talon IP: 64.45.136.15 |

It isn't a big deal, I'm usually only barely conscious of what rank I am... The Geist character went by Major, even though he wore captains bars and actually held the rank of Leftenant Colonel :-) ------------------ "Don't you pull rank on me young man!"

May as well join the fun, considering at one stage I was a Rear Admiral in the Fleet, and Commander General of the POD (way back when I first created the thing ;P). "Sir, yes sir!" "Check it out! I am the ultimate badass! State of the badass art! Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry, me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out! Phased particle phalanx cannon. VWAP! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got nukes, no flukes, machine guns, knives, sharp sticks..." ------------------ IP: 62.7.100.3 |
