Eli,
A minor nitpick on Dave Cho's message about rank. Unless it specifically
says so in TKD, a naval lieutenant (junior grade) is NOT the equivalent of an
air force/army/marines second lieutenant. In the american hierarchy, the ranks
equate thusly:
Naval Air Force/Army/Marines
--------------------- ----------------------
Ensign Second Lieutenant
Lieutenant (junior grade) First Lieutenant
Lieutenant Captain
Lieutenant Commander Major
Commander Lieutenant Colonel
Captain Colonel
Commodore Brigadier General
Rear Admiral Lieutenant General
Vice Admiral Major General
Admiral General
Fleet Admiral General of the Armies
The above is the traditional rendering. The US Navy did away with Commodore
several years back, replacing it with Rear Admiral (lower half) while the
original Rear Admiral became Rear Admiral (upper half). Of course, Fleet
Admiral and General of the Armies are the five-star rank which hasn't been
seen since WWII.
