	Say, is there a way to get the Character template to stop saying William "Husker" Adama? He has not been addressed as Husker, so it might be more of a confusion than anything to have it say that. As a Commander and now an Admiral, he has not been known as a Viper pilot for quite a while. Long before we became "acquainted" with him.

He was basically given Rear Admiral pins (although, I admit, this is pretty flimsy evidence given that the pins in question were used for all admiral ranks!) As you mentioned, full ranks are not typically used during conversation. So, yes, Cain was a Rear Admiral, although she is consistently referred to as "Admiral Cain" in the dialogue, like Lieutenant J.G.s are referred to as "Lieutenant So-and-so;" the same could be said for those holding the Lieutenant Colonel rank (Fisk held that rank prior to Belzen's execution). As for Lee Adama, he skipped ranks. Or hop-skipped-jumped-and-hop-scotched, beginning with his demotion in "Pegasus" to a mere lieutenant. He's had more rank changes than any other character in the course of the show!		: Adama was technically promoted to that rank after Cain's death, now that he commanded "two ships."
