Everyone has gotten a demotion

[Admin5]

This is a very good thing though! Our software upgrade now allows more than 3 titles. Before we just had first mate 0-30 posts, captain 31-999 and Admiral 1000+. We are now going to follow all the ranks of the navy starting with enlisted men/women and then moving to officers. I am sure many of you will make it back to Admiral or even higher status. You will find that your title will change often at first (1-1000 posts) and then take longer between changes but think of it as fun when something does change. Hope you all like it and those of you who don't please call me personally at 555-1894

Re: Everyone has gotten a demotion

Sort of crossed ranks a little bit.An officer cadet is under a seaman apprentice.Granted the apprentice is out of boot camp unless the recruiter and him had a deal.And,there is no recruit position for the enlisted ranks.<br /><br />Picky picky. In all ,its cool with me.

Re: Everyone has gotten a demotion

Oh Gee! From Captain to Master Chief Petty Officer. I guess I shouldn't have said what I said to Toad. <br /><br />ps, maybe there should be demotions based on comportment, huh? We could even have an acid test for political views. Naw, I guess that wouldn't go over very well.<br /><br />Hey! I got it. How about a little cronyism here, you know, *** for tat. X number of post points for every dollar purchace at the Mega Mall. Now that idea should get me back up to Captain. Wadya think?

Re: Everyone has gotten a demotion

hmmmmmm..Wonder if a Ho Chi Min status can be applied here..During times of war an upgrade in rank sometimes occurs When one has been involved in a battle and survived..And since many here have been involved with and survived many a war on previous threads I was wondering if we have Battle Field promotions

But once combat has ceased, you go back to your previous rank. But you get to retire at the highest rank held...we don't want you to retire Doc.
