E-9: Chief Master Sergeant (five down, three up, white star)

O-3: Captain (two silver bars connected by smaller bars)

When I was awaiting Pilot Training, I was a data automation officer O1
working for an O3. Reporting to us was a E9 who ran the place...


(also of note is the use of the same label - 'Captain' - for Army, Air
Force and Marine Corps officers of O-3 grade and a Navy officer of O-6
grade... which the other forces call 'Colonel')

I knew of a guy who changed services - but he was a 2Lt, 1Lt, Lt Jg, &
a Lt. I never knew anybody who was both types of captain though. I'm
sure it must happen.

This reminds me of a completely different story. This sergeant who
worked with me had earlier been on duty in Korea while his home
station was in Hawaii. He had his fiance move to Hawaii where he got
married on the radio. She moved into married quarters and set up
house, while his pay went up because he was married. When he came
back, all their friends and relatives vacationed in Hawaii while they
had their church wedding.

Between Hawaii and Korea is the International Date line. Every
year, on separate days, they celebrated his anniversary, her
anniversary, and their anniversary.
