US Soldier Seeks Asylum in Germany Over Iraq War

[Celticty]

Enlisted Navy people have rates (paygrade) and ratings (specialties). Navy officer ranks and Army officer ranks are not the same. For example, a Navy captain is an O-6 but an Army captain is an O-3.

Well you learn new things each day.

The only Navy people I ever saw in Iraq were high ranking ones who had bomb dogs. That is all, the rest from what I have heard stay on the boats.

My brother is a SeaBee and was boots on the ground and not a high ranking official. Not all are on ships.

Well as I previously stated, you learn a new thing each day... It is neat to learn this stuff. Thank you for letting me know about that. What is his job?
