True, not even non-commisioned officers. However I wouldn't be too very suprised if the corporal was soon a Sgt, and they are NCOs. The LT will soon be a Captain too, just in the normal course of things if nothing else. (It's only 2-3 years from 1LT to Captain, IIRC, it was 2 years in my day, 18 months not long before that...but it took me more like 8 years. Long boring story)
