Heh, I didn't even notice. Can you tell that "Lieutenant La Forge" left a mark in my brain?

CL Calder wrote:I will also point out that you said "lieutenant and sub-lieutenant". Actually, La Forge is a commander and LPM was a lieutenant. You're behind the times.

I think you are wrong Captain Calder,

A Lt. Commander is still adressed as Commander, a Line Captain is Still adressed as Captain, as in Rear and Vice Admiral can still be adressed as Admiral.

As such an Ensign is also adressed as Mr. or Mrs. etc. And a Sub-LT can be adressed as LT.

(Read the GEOM or i guess its now the GE:EROM or something like that

)

Alright then smart guy, riddle me this:

How is a full commander getting addressed as lieutenant correct?

You may not be aware of this Lieutenant, but I am a real Naval officer, so I do know a thing or two about naval ranks.

I dont think a Full Commander can be adressed as LT... not formaly nayway (at least i dont think) but i may be wrong. So do explane Captain.

It wasn't a scenario question, Lieutenant. In the original post, CM La Forge was addressed as "LT", which you can't do in any case.

Ah yes... the quick wit and the blindingly fast situation assessment of a true lawyer and JAG officer. Sol, I congratulate you on your sharp mind

I would comment on the quick wit and sarcasm of Syrt here, but I think everyone knows that already

What I've always been curious about is how an old man can be a commando.

He is the one the stays back and tells the Real Commandos who to shoot

He manages because he has me nearby to tell him what to shoot at.

Entirely true

Ah, but I was not yet a commando at that point.

Bah, you're still old.
