Ooops

[AcidSquid]

UH OH.
Me Being an Air Cadet (In The Canadian Forces) Have Learned all of the ranks of the canadian Armed Forces, now
Ready Your Tapes,
Weir Calls An Officer With a Maple Leaf flag on his shoulder 'Sargeant'
But Here Comes the Oops,
THERE ARE NO SARGEANTS IN THE RCAF
So, Maybe She misread his Shoulder.
Or it was a goof.




Speculate Away!

Uh,
It Was Trinity.

[neko138]

so what was he?

the ranks are used fairly arbitrarily on tv shows because sargeant is recogniseable as opposed to something more longwinded such as master sargeant (although i noted that walter did get promoted). its likt calling a lieutenant colonel "Colonel" instead of "lieutenant" or something

[Chevron_nine]

according to http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/about/ranks_e.asp Sargeant is a rank for the Canadian Army and AF. Did you learn the ranks of non-commissioned members?

[Avenger]

Looks like the oops is on you.

This site specifies that a sergeant is an E-6 in the Canadian Air Force and Army. So that guy could be in either one of those services.

Looks like a stargate to me, but gone a bit funny, that's the dangers of ASCII art and not using a fixed size font.

Oh, to make a comment bc of the ranks....even if there weren't a seargent in the Canadian military... she might don't know... even as a Diplomat you can't know anything

All forces in the US, and most in the UK if I remember correctly, abbreviate their ranks in speech. It's only the USMC that doesn't and finds it offensive to do so.

This bothers me, a bit, because I find it hard to believe that both Bates and Stackhouse were just basic Sergeants. At their ages, and as purportedly experienced specialists in their field, they should be higher ranked.
