[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hobbes: [QB] Here's something about that episode that caught my attention. Now for starters I like the military aspect to the show. I like that they use military terms usually correctly. CIC for example, when I was stationed on the Fitzgerald I worked in CIC. Unlike Star Trek which shows all the action happening on the bridge, on a real Navy ship CIC is where all the decision making actions take place. And on a side note, I think it's cool that the USS Fitzgerald DDG-62 made its way into the BSG universe, DDG-62 was the engine model of the blackbird. Apparently one of the writers/producers got a tour of the Fitzgerald before it switched homeports from San Diego to Yokosuka. Anyway, I've digressed... as far as the rank structure goes it follows a mix of Navy and Army titles such as ensign, lieutenant (and LTJG), commander and admiral (all Navy ranks) and then titles like major and colonel (Marine/Air Force/Army) ranks. The enlisted ranks are pretty much Navy also. Now to finally get to my point, in a scene in this episode during Apollo's party before he leaves the fleet there's a shadowbox with various rank patches in it. What caught my attention were the few current Air Force enlisted rank patches. Maybe they figured it would only be seen for a second and no one would notice, but this doesn't strike me as that type of show. It instead reinforces the idea that it takes place way in our future. Be it that the 12 colonies were created by people from Earth and some how left or a stray ship from the SGC left some USAF badges on Caprica I don't know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
