Leading gun-control advocate Mark Kelly warned Republican senators

NOT a "leading" anything unless its AZZhole. Kind of makes one wonder how a man spends 24 years in the Armed Services, including astronaut time, and retires as only a "captain"?? Most men who are in the military that long would probably retire as at least a colonel. What's up with this guy??

A captain in the Navy is O-6 not O-3 like every non-squid.

“Most men who are in the military that long would probably retire as at least a colonel.”

A full Navy Captain (O-6) is the equivalent to an Army, Marine, or AF full Colonel (0-6). It is odd, however, that Kelly would retire on 24 years, unless he was going to be passed over for promotion. Observing the pass over is a long tradition when promotions at the higher levels of command are announced.

He’s a Navy Captain; one step below Admiral, just as a Colonel is one step below General.
