Rank[edit]
Okay... If it says MAJ on something of his, let's see a screen cap. --Day 17:27, 14 February 2006 (EST)
- I'd be interested in seeing that as well. --April Arcus 18:54, 14 February 2006 (EST)
- I just checked my miniseries DVD. The side of his Mk VII shows MAJ, so it's true. --Spencerian 19:06, 14 February 2006 (EST)
- Maybe it's just me, but I can't read that except for his name, though if I didn't know it was Jackson, I might be at a loss for that portion. Unfortunately, I don't have the DVDs to go looking for myself in hi-res. Tangentally, is there any shot that shows his rank pips that we might learn what a Major's look like? --Day 17:13, 15 February 2006 (EST)
- Unfortunately, we only see Spencer in three scenes of the mini: the card game where Starbuck fights (he is out of his flight suit), during a pilot briefing for the decommissioning ceremony flyby (in flight suit, but no close-up; the article page shows this shot) and in the cockpit in his fatal attack (the hard seal collar covers the pips). Take heart--Captain Adama becomes a major in the next, thrilling episode and we know we get nose-hair-up-close shots when he's on screen (just part of the show's friendly female fan service...). --Spencerian 17:24, 15 February 2006 (EST)
- The visible text (I can see it at least) is "AJ JACKSON SPENCER." The M in MAJ is cut off by the left side of the pic. If you still can't see it, I'll draw a box around it and upload another pic. --Talos 18:24, 15 February 2006 (EST)
- I can see it, anyway. --April Arcus 22:21, 15 February 2006 (EST)

- Okay. Yeah... I'm seeing it now. Wonderful. Also, maybe Lee will wear a towel again. *sigh* They could hardly have been more blatant. --Day 06:38, 16 February 2006 (EST)
- Edited "Capt." to "Maj." in the notes section. --Madbrood 13:47, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
Wings[edit]
What wings does Dipper wear? My copy of the Miniseries is on loan, so I can't check. One would assume Junior wings, but I'd like to double-check and confirm. --Captain Untouchable 02:53, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
