Too bad the quiz didn’t stop at 10 questions. I had 100 % until questions 11, and missed 5 in a row!

10/15. Boo.

Weird, I got a perfect score. I think vets will do pretty good at guessing on this one.

Some of them, even if you don't know but do understand rank structure, have only one reasonable answer.

13/15. I was tasked in BMT with teaching some of the others the AF rank structure. The homeboys couldnโ€™t relate to my MASH references.

Missed a few.
#8
Before he was “The Skipper” of the Minnow on Gilligan’s Island, Jonas Grumby served in the Navy. What was his rank in the war?

#10
“Black Sheep Squadron” was based on the real-life missions of “Pappy” Boyington. What was his rank?

#12
On “The Rifleman”, we learn that Lucas McCain is a Union veteran of the Civil War. What rank did he hold in the 10th Indiana Volunteer brigade?

Can you remember the military ranks of these classic TV characters?
Your Score : 12/15
Nice work! You merit a promotion.
Average Score : 11/15
