Re: [ranchos] Rank Of Leticia's Ancestors


 
I stand corrected as far as  I made a mistake in the message.  After the word example: Navy, the word Navy doesnt belong there, the word should have been Army.
What I am saying is that the isignia is not "Universal" as your husband states.  He is right when he says that a Captain's insignia in the Navy is an eagle, but in the Air Force it is the insignia for  a Colonel!  A Captain's insigina in the Air Force is two bars!
PS: I spent 5 years in the  U.S.  Air Force and for ten years, every two months, I would travel aboard a Mexican Navy Coast Guard Cutter.

As a former Marine I don't believe you are correct:
Two bars in the U.S. Navy was a Lieutenent. A Captain
insignia in the Navy an Eagle. The Navy LT. did wear
two bars {bands} but on his sleeve. The Captain had
four on his.
