    What rank is higher? Major or Colonel?

    Never mind, found it. Apparentely, Colonel is higher.

    I am surprised you needed to even ask, as SG1 should have made it obviously clear over the years. And yes it is higher, no apparently about it.

    Captain (Carter when SG1 started), Major (when Carter was first promoted), Lieutenant Colonel (Carter's second promotion/Mitchell's rank), Colonel (Jacks original rank), Brigadier General (when Jack got promoted), Major General (Jack's second promotion/Hammonds original rank/Landry's rank), Lieutenant General (Hammonds promotion) plus there are two higher ranks

      ^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?

      AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

          I just block out "unnecessary" information such as ranks. All I know is that it's Colonel Mitchell, Colonel Carter and Brigadier General Jack O'Neill .

          Also, I barely slept last night.

            It's actually Lieutenant Colonel Carter, Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell and I believe now Major General Jack O'Neill.

            With that said, get some sleep. You shouldn't be forgetting stuff like this.

            I believe there is also a supposed 6 star rank, the one they gave George Washington to make him the highest ranked military officer of all time (within the US anyway).

              Knowing ranks is kind of important when you're watching a show where the military is quite prominent.
              I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

                There is no 6 star rank, you could call 6 star the president of the united states.

                4 stars is the highest General. A 5 star is only in times of war for the General of the Army, airforce, ect.

                  Theres a 5 star now, but in all the branches of the military hasn't there only been something like 10 5 star generals?

                    There is no 5 star General at this time for the Army or the Airforce. Gade O-11 (5 star) is a wartime only rank.

                      there have been a few men who have recived the 6th star...BUT only one of them has ever had it WHILE ALIVE ( all other recived it posthumusly) and that man was General Auther MacAurther ( father of Doulas MacAurther) the tile for that rank is General of the Armies of the United States (notice the plural there)

                              ONLY 5 stars? Our Chief of Defence Force is an Air Chief Marshal. That's 7 stars, above Air Marshal and Air Vice Marshal.
