*There is some confusion over Burrell's rank.  [[Kara Thrace|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. Thrace's reference to Burrell as 'Gunny' is likely a nickname based on an old rank, suggesting he was "mustanged", or commissioned from the ranks.

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.
