Forum:Comissioned Officer

Why is Fred, a non-com, given a commisioned officer rank at the end of GoO? Is it because he is in charge now?-- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  17:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering about this too. It's not as if promoting him gives him this new leadership ability. I think it was more of a symbolic thing. However, I don't remember his rank before he got promoted (and it's not on his article). He may have been promoted so that it was clear he was in charge of the group, not Mendez. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 08:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Fred was a Senior Chief Petty Officer (1 rank below Master Chief) and he was promoted so that Kurt could give him the responsibility of the welfare of the others, forcing him to go to Shield World and leave Kurt behind. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 20:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
