[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obi Juan: [QB] Note that a military promotion can be job rather than rank (e.g. when a Commander who is XO of a ship is given his own command). O'Brien was head of an engineering department on a large starship. He was promoted to the chief engineer (called chief of operations) of an entire starbase. Definitely a promotion. Not that I think your wrong. It would make sense if he got bumped up to Senior Chief around the same time. That may have even been the reasoning behind giving him (what appears to be) a senior chief insignia. This of course seems to be another case when the art department and the writers don't seem to have the faintest idea of what each other are doing (which is the reason we get four-star rear admirals). Someone in power may have told the art department to design O'Brien's patch to resemble the current senior chief petty officer's patch. But I don't think the writer's ever got (or chose to regard this information). [/QB][/QUOTE]
