Important to know who to salute..

That's what my son said when he was in boot camp. Actually, he said it was very easy to know who to salute when one is a seaman recruit. If it moves, salute it! :-)

I know the officer's ranks in order, ie: ENS, LTJG, LT, LTCD, CDR, CAPT, etc. I just can't recognize rank by the uniform. I can the enlisted rates. That is what I was most familiar with growing up.

LTCD..not exactly..

LCDR

confusing also as Captain is high ranking in Navy.. just below a star; in other branches the Captain is a lower level officer.

Need to sleep.. just penned off a note via FReepMail to sistahs..
