It's not the O-4/5 votes I'm suspicious of. For me it's the "well, I'm in college now but I'll be an Ensign in 2007, I'll go ahead and pick that." Too bad the poll wasn't made public initially.

Ask me about ninjas!
Insinuations? ME?? I never insinuate anything, I just come right out and say it. That's at least half my problem, and it bites me in the ass relatively frequently. On the other hand, I DO have lots of friends, because I say what they're thinking and too chickensh!t to say. At the very least, I have good entertainment value.

I wonder how many of those "O-4" and "O-5+" votes are actually legit......
"LEGIT" ??? ACTUALLY .... I work for the CIA, ONI, DEA, FBI and I'm an O-10, but O-5 + or retired was all that was available to me. I didn't think you would believe me if I put my qualifications down here .... :)

Well, yes and no. Fleet Admiral, a wartime rank, is O-11, 5 stars. Fleet Admiral Halsey?

Chief, I think you're wrong on the O-11 thing. I don't believe the paygrade was ever established. It's simply higher rank, not a new pay grade. At least that's always been my understanding. Feel free to show me where I'm wrong :)

Edit: Well, I did the whole google thing, and several sites (credible ones) do show it as being an O-11. At least I found my own mistake first right? :)

But then again "The Chief is just really nice" I dont think Ive ever heard that sentence uttered before but I do have limited exposure to Chiefs.

Just thinking out loud here. Why wouldn't they get a little more pay since they now have not only more responsibility, but are now even bigger targets for assissins and probably a larger price on their head? I mean, isn't that how it goes, the more responsibilty or training, the more pay? Just thinking. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I almost broke my no smiles rule, I almost borrowed Fly's lauging icon.

I don't understand what you are saying. A-4's posted a picture with the title O-10:Fleet Admiral. I responded trying to say that O-10 is not a Fleet Admiral. You posted Fleet Admiral is O-11. I think we are in agreement.

FOR GOD's SAKE, PEOPLE .... I Fvcked up when I typed "O-10" before "Fleet Admiral" .... IF YOU ARE A 5-STAR .... IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT PAY-GRADE YOU ARE ----- YES ?????

YOU, Halsey, and Nimitz ARE RUNNING THE SHOW --- GET IT !!??!!??

Because of your powers of dubious "concentration" .... some of you are not going to make it ..... :) ... ALOHA
