The military rank structure probably seems odd to someone who is not familiar with it.

I thought most educated people know what an rotc or a service academy grad comes in at.
Oh well.

Most people don’t understand what a warrant officer is.

It’s weird that she outranks him and he must evaluate her, no?

It is shocking how many Americans know so little about the military. There was a time when most adults had either served in the military themselves or had close family or friends who had served. But today, most adults haven’t served and might not even know anyone who has served.

And, yes, the rank of warrant officer can be confusing, but once someone explained it to me when I was in my twenties, I understood it. I wasn’t even in the military myself, but had a good friend who was serving at the time.

This thread really illustrates how little adults in our society understand about the basics of how the military services operate.

How on earth would non military understand this? It’s convoluted.

Why on earth would they even need to know? If you don’t understand it, then STFU about it.

Wrong. Were you born understanding it genius? People don't know and then they learn about it and then they know.

If the governor goes to the DMV, do they find a higher ranking official to give him the the eye test?

I'm so disappointed that no one is discussing the need to reduce the traffic at DCA. The airport was never meant to have 25 million passengers flying in and out every minute every day with military helicopters crossing the airspace constantly. Unless they move pentagon and the white house and the hundreds and thousands of VIPs away, you will never be able to get rid of the helicopter flights. The restrictions on the nearby airspace won't be changed either. They need to reduce the traffic at DCA by at least half, and get dedicated ATCs for both commercial flights and helicopters. If there weren't a line of planes waiting to land, the helicopter could have held its position and wait for an opening to cross safely - no need for these altitude rules with razor thin margin of error. And THAT should be the solution, NOT to bend to the selfish wishes of some politicians who want 20 minutes less of commute to the airport.

There are 67 familes that are not going to let it rest until they get this information that they deserve.

Yeah, if 67 people died so someone could impress their girlfriend, that’s going to be a problem.

No, not in their positions. There are senior nurses that could be colonels, and new doctors that could be captains. The nurse still follows the doctor’s medical orders.

I feel the same. Somebody really wants it ti be “irrelevant.” But if it were actually irrelevant, there would be no need to hide it.
