			:::Just been watching Razor again. Judging from what Fisk does on the bridge, I'd say that he's the Officer of the Deck, performing the same role as Gaeta. While we don't see him do anything, we do see Hoshi standing at the same station as he occupied later in the episode, and his job seems to be stating the bleeding obvious (ie. reading what is on the DRADIS screen), which is what Gaeta often does. Oh, and there was a Major on Galactica - Doc Cottle holds that rank, I believe. --[[User:Captain Untouchable\|Captain Untouchable]] 01:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

			::Well, in the American military the ranks "lieutenant colonel" and "lieutenant j.g."

But full rank titles are indeed frequently used. And you would never abbreviate lieutenant colonel as COL, always LTC or Lt.

Colonel as "Lt Colonel" no more than you would refer to someone as a "junior lieutenant", or a "specialist" as "specialist third class". Cain was a "Rear Admiral", yet she's simply called an "Admiral". Same with Boomer. She was a junior lieutenant, yet she was always referred to as "lieutenant". Also, there's no logical way Fisk would have been a full colonel as that would put him on the same ranking level as the XO. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [[bsp:\|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 14:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)		::Actually, no.

			::Well, in the American military the ranks "lieutenant colonel" and "lieutenant j.g." (alternatively junior lieutenant in BSG) are abbreviated to just colonel and lieutenant ... in daily and informal conversation, when using the full rank title repeatedly becomes cumbersome. But full rank titles are indeed frequently used. And you would never abbreviate lieutenant colonel as COL, always LTC or Lt. Col., but it is acceptable to use LT to refer to lieutenant j.g. or full lieutenant (and second and first lieutenants for the Army/Marine types). How's that for consistency ...-- [[User:Fredmdbud\|Fredmdbud]] 15:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
	:::As for the rank pin issue... they don't have a specific pin for "Ensign", production uses the "Junior Lieutenant" versions for that. So, at least from my research, they used the same pins for Colonel to denote a Lt. Colonel, since they don't have a 'lt. colonel" pin. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]] - [[bsp:\|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 14:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)		:::As for the rank pin issue... they don't have a specific pin for "Ensign", production uses the "Junior Lieutenant" versions for that.

	:But Joe, you can easily have people of the same rank in a chain of command. For example on aircraft carriers, the CO, CAG, chief engineer, etc. may all be captains. In science fiction, such things are usually simplified though. -- [[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 14:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)		:But Joe, you can easily have people of the same rank in a chain of command.
