Question for you navy types ---

How do you get promoted from Capt (0-6) to Rear Admiral (0-8)? Isn't the rank of Commodore (0-7) in between?

There are two grades of Rear Admrial. The 0-7 version is a one star and the equivilent of an Army Brigadier. The O-8 version is a two star. O-7s are offically Rear Admiral, Lower Half and O-8s are Rear Admiral, Upper Half.

It's Rear Admiral (Lower Half). O-8 is Rear Admiral (Upper Half). Commodores haven't made an album in several years so we dropped it.
