Lieutenant Terry Burrell is an officer in the Colonial Marine Corps.

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.
- If Burrell is indeed a lieutenant, he is the first Marine officer that viewers encounter in the series. The highest ranking Marine shown prior to "Sacrifice" was the character of Sergeant Hadrian.
