[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] Actually, I've never seen that practiced in real life. My first two ships were smallboys, so the issue never came up, but my last was a flagship, so we had many naval captains and a number of marines of vasrying ranks aboard. I never heard any bumped up a grade for courtesy. Heinlein knew his RL military stuff, but in Starship Troopers, he made his own version to suit his story, so I don't think there's any connection to the real world. That said, I like the idea and used it when I ran ST rpgs. [/QUOTE]Yeah but that's the US navy; I'm pretty sure the practice is still in use in the RN. Who have many strange and wierd traditions... :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
