I hope they adopt Commodore for one star instead of Rear Admiral, Lower Half like the USN has today.

Maybe the Space Force could use a totally new idea for rank structures. As some examples: Junior Storm Leader Senior Storm Leader Head Storm Leader Storm Unit Leader Senior Storm Leader etc. Or jump to the top ranks: Senior Group Leader These ranks have never been done before so therefore they would be super awesome.

Quoted: No shit. Navy rank structure is some nonsensical shit. View Quote Enlisted ranks are in groups of three. Seamen, Petty Officers, Chief Perty Officers. Simple. Enlisted ratings immediately tell you what both the Sailor's job and rank are in a single notation. Officer ranks are historical and have direct analogues with the same insignia to the land forces. I mean what the hell is a "Technical Sergeant"? Someone who is technically but not actually a sergeant? And how do you know just from the title if a sergeant major or a first sergeant is senior? And Generals, how are Major and Lieutenant General orders swapped in seniority from the lower ranks? |

Navy ranks structure is just fine. V/R, IT1(SW) Maccrage View Quote A First Class Petty Officer (E-6) who is an Information Technician with a Surface Warfare qualification. I didnt have to decode some mysterious 4 digit number to figure out what he did. I didn't have to sift through two dozen generic "sergeants" to find the one trained to fix my computer. I know he's been stationed sea duty on an afloat unit, and passed the warfare training curriculum including the written test and oral board. All contained in those 5 little symbols. |

Obviously if they're on board space"ships" it should be Naval rank but since it's under the Air Force I doubt that's going to happen. Aircraft operate on or from ships. |

Quoted:
Why were you disowned? Were you dishonorably discharged? Once a Marine, always a Marine unless you were deemed unworthy. View Quote We get it: "something something you signed a paper and earned your EGA and no one can take that away" but the fact is unless you're still wearing the uniform, drawing the paycheck, and able to be deployed you're "former". Its an even more hilarious concept when it's someone who did one enlistment, bitched the whole time, and couldn't wait to get out then got out as soon as their contract was up. |

They should adopt Marine Corps ranks and have crossed rockets. First sergeants keep diamonds, sergeants major keep stars, master guns get a freakin laser beam or nuke symbol

Navy ranks are the most ridiculous. What'll they be - a 'spaceman' instead of a 'seaman'? Petty officer is also gay.

Yeah, I'm sure a bunch of dudes from the least "classically" military part of the Air Force are going to adopt naval customs....
….so, no. |

Navy rank is dumb and you should feel dumb View Quote Naval enlisted rank is gay. You've got five different flavors of lower enlisted, weird random insignia denotes one asshole is higher than other assholes, and there is precisely zero camaraderie between ranks because ermagherd you have an extra divot on your winklepea so you gotta eat over there. Naval officer rank is more gay. There are four branches of the military and three of them use the same officer ranks. Not the Navy, because gay. (Coast Guard isn't a branch, because they're gay too) Pretty much everything about the Navy is wrong. Space Force is a department of the Air Force and *NOT* the Navy for several reasons: 1. Nobody wants to be a faggot. 2. The ranks make sense. 3. The Navy is dumb and gay. 4. The Navy involves the surface, not above atmo. And lastly, nobody likes the Navy. Because gay. |

"Mandating naval ranks will spur the development of a new manner of thinking. The culture shock of a completely new rank amongst the service's highest tenured will have a trickle-down effect, starting the USSF off on the right foot."
So, what the Chair Farce star is saying is "They will be triggered"! So. CG ranks it be!! Cause! Space Pirates they be!! |
