Notes
- Starbuck refers to him as "Gunny", suggesting he is a Gunnery Sergeant, but the closing credits of "Sacrifice" list him as "Lt. Terry Burrell." Based on the episode credits, this article lists the character as a Lieutenant. It is possible that "Gunny" is a nickname from an old rank (suggesting that he was "mustanged", or commissioned from the ranks), but there has been no clarification from subsequent appearances or the production staff.
