Jeremy responded to my whining and made a GI Joe card for me:
Thanks, Jeremy!!!
Interestingly, that's pretty much what I look like on the weekends.
Oh. My. Goodness. That does resemble you.
Wait- you did get a higher rank than me did you?
Posted by: Rae at December 21, 2004 04:29 AMThat should read didn't get a higher rank....
Posted by: Rae at December 21, 2004 04:31 AM...I don't know. Not important. The cool thing is I have guns and a cat.

Nathan: Do your comments allow tables and other nifty HTML code?
Posted by: Jeremy at December 21, 2004 07:22 AMAnd technically, Nathan IS an O-2...
Posted by: Jeremy at December 21, 2004 07:24 AMJeremy,
I think it does allow all that. I've never actually tried, tho.
Rae,
Even more technically, I'm on the Promotees list to O-3. Unfortunately, it doesn't take effect until the end of June '05...but it's only a matter of time. They slipped up and now I can't be stopped from being promoted to Capt!!!
So I guess you liked the bio-write up.
Posted by: Jeremy at December 22, 2004 07:16 PMHey Nate! Congratulations :D
But, I am still concerned about that ranking....ummm, how did you determine my rank, Jeremy?
(And please know this is in complete fun).
P.S. Where's Jo?
Posted by: Rae at December 22, 2004 10:25 PMokay okay okay
It is now become more than obvious that I know little about the inner workings of the U.S. Military, and what ranks do what.
I meerly was using the existing G.I. Joe Genre as a template.
For example, the overall leader of the Joes is a Brigadeer General. He was called Hawk.
After that, the only officers which appear were very special ranks (ie. Admiral of the Carrier) or Aviator Captain.
After that, everyone was enlisted, the highest rank was a First Sergeant. (Duke), and a few E-6s.
After that, your really cool characters were E-6s and E-5s. Then your not-so-essential and non-mission critical positions were held by E-4s and E-3s.
Granted, in real life, this is not the case. But I had to stick with the genre.
