Number

Shouldn't Commander be listed as O-7 and Rear Admiral as O-8? Not even getting into the debate over the officer/flag officer status of the Commander rank (although it could go either way (the Colonial forces could have seven officer ranks)), but why is it listed as N/A? It's clearly higher than Colonel, which is O-6. --Kevin W. 21:05, 26 November 2006 (CST)

The numbers correspond with the US ranks, not the BSG ranks. Philwelch 01:13, 27 November 2006 (CST)

PO3

I understand the note about Venner, since PO3 and Cpl are equivalent, but the page itself does quote RDM who says that there is no PO3 grade. How can the page be modified to show this? --Kevin W.^{•So say we all} 18:27, 17 December 2006 (CST)

Mhh, you're right. Though I don't consider that one blog entry as the very last word on it. Ideas might have changed a bit by now. Who knows.

Anyways, the list incluces PO3 mainly for the sake of completion I guess. It does say that some aspects of the table are speculative and that was always ok. You could add a footnote, like done for all other annotations. Then the explination shows up under "references". --Serenity 10:20, 18 December 2006 (CST)

New information

There's an article that is a few months old on galactica.tv about the pins and symbols of the uniforms here. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 08:56, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

The new information is really the tiny details that are available from of the pins. Our insignia pictures are from that very same rank chart, so the information is already reflected, except for the narrower Lt.j.g. pin. I can update that later. We just have drawings instead of photographs which is somewhat cleaner however. Maybe the great photo of the Commander pin could be included somehow? (like "more images").

Maybe the information on the other uniform devices could be put on Uniforms (RDM) though. --Serenity 09:10, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Sounds good. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 09:30, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
