[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Registered Nurse sounds reasonable (and it appears next to "Dr" Terry Erdmann in many places). Then again, the ranks and ratings of these people should probably be ignored just like we have to ignore the fact that the names are recycled for multiple ships - the balance is not plausible. I know we usually see only commissioned officers in the episodes, but there are way too many high-rankers listed missing, against perhaps half a dozen enlisteds (or people without a rank mentioned) and a relatively low count of ensign vs. lieutenant. It's cute to have everybody be an admiral in the dedication plaques, but to make everybody a lieutenant or higher in a KIA roster is just silly. Perhaps we could again use the criterium often beneficial in "semi-canon" debates - only include the data that can be gleaned from the actual episode, assuming super-powerful futuristic viewing devices but the original videotape/film. The names and registries of the starships could be readable, and one could tell the KIAs from the MIAs and WIAs by the color, but the names and ranks of the personnel would be mostly invisible, because of camera angles and resolution of original material, and because of people standing in front of most of them in close-ups.
