[QUOTE]Originally posted by Middy Seafort: [QB] Also, [QUOTE] I'm amazed no one's mentioned CPO Garrison from "The Cage" yet. As far as the various Chiefs go, I never thought of it as a rate the way it was used in dialogue, as the individuals were always chiefs -- Chief Engineer, Transporter Chief, etc. O'Brien started on TNG as a Command Division Ensign serving as the battle bridge conn in "Encounter at Farpoint". A season later, Colm came back and his character had changed to the Engineering/Services Division, had gained a full pip, and was now the ship's transporter chief. He was even referred to in dialoge a couple times as "Lieutenant". A season after that, his backstory got expanded to include serving as the Tactical Officer aboard the Rutledge. In the fourth season, however, Ron Moore went to write "Family" and thought "Chief" meant an enlisted rate rather than a shipboard job title. Bam, pow, sunk in one. --Jonah [/QUOTE]I had forgotten about CPO Garrision, but was he's rank mentioned in dialogue or was it in the script? As for poor O'Brien, it seems they were never quite consistant with his rank. Middy Seafort [/QB][/QUOTE]
