:I don't follow you Hawke: of course he's Fleet.  I don't understand you.  I mean, [[Marine]]s have an entirely different set of [[uniform]]s and stuff.  As for "general demeanor" I don't see how that makes him a Marine anymore than Col. Tigh, and his uniform arrangement is the same as all the others.  --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 21:59, 28 March 2006 (CST)

::I was wondering the same, having just watched Razor. It wasn't so much his uniform that made me wonder it (nb. Merovingian: its only NCO Marines we've seen; and we know that Fleet NCOs have different uniforms to Fleet Officers, so its not a stretch), but more the question of why Cain would have assigned someone of such a low rank as Lieutenant to perform what is presumably thought of as a very important task. One would assume that he either has a reputation for brutality / sourcing information as an "extra vocational skill", or he is in some sort of appropriate role. Marines would seem appropriate.
::Another thought I had was that he's quite, well, old to be a Lieutenant, really. Either he isn't very good at his job, and didn't earn the promotions - unlikely, given the respect he earned from the crew, and the responsibility Cain places in him - or he was "Mustanged" from Enlisted service. --[[User:Captain Untouchable|Captain Untouchable]] 02:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Lt. Thorne died much as he lived—with his pants around his ankles. [[User:Philwelch|Philwelch]] 20:14, 21 November 2006 (CST)
