RE: Halo UNSCDF Ranking system  


Dear Bungie,
Dear Bungie,


I represent an interested party from "Halopedia", a Halo based Wiki at, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/. While folks here are doing a great job, we do occasionally run into problems.

One problem, that has plauged us for the longest time, are the ranks of the UNSC Marine Corps, and the UNSC Navy. You can read the ongoing debate here, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Template_talk:Ranks  The disagreement is basically, what system does the UNSCDF use for its ranks:

*One argument is that the ranks are exact or similiar to the real-life U.S. Navy and Marine Corps ranks.

So we got together, and wrote this letter to ask you, what is the official word on this?  What is the canon from the Halo Bible?  We ask you, great ones, to please tell us!
The exact argument can be seen here: http://halopedian.com/Template_talk:Ranks


Please respond with UNSCDF ranking structure and what designs are used for the shoulder badges.
We would really appreciate us if you could give us a good idea of their ranking structure and what designs are used to indicate these ranks (such as shoulder patches or other decor) so we can resolve this debate and continue our efforts too keep our wiki as accurate and helpful as possible.


With much praise,

I know this sounds a tad petty, but I was wondering if you could confirm for me a ranking system that the UNSC Navy and Marines follow. Thus far, they have both followed the American version to the letter, but there are some who need absolute proof. Thank you

I used the American system when I wrote the novels; however, there are anomalies like “Lord” Hood. (?) Bungie will have to explain that one (and they after all have final say on what is canon in their universe). Hope that helps.
 
 
All best wishes,
