Rank Explanation
My brother was home on leave from his post in Hawaii. He announced
that he had just been promoted to lieutenant commander. We were all
pleased with the news, but some of us less knowledgeable about
military rankings, especially those of the Navy, asked him to explain
what the promotion meant.
After several failed attempts to get us to understand, he sighed and
said, "Before, I was Hawkeye Pierce, but now I'm Frank Burns."
Expressions of understanding immediately lit the room.
