[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] Nelson did start as an ordinary seaman, but on a ship captained by his uncle so he hit the officer track pretty fast - especially when his uncle went on to become comptroller of the navy. Of course his uncle had the fantastic name of "Captain Suckling" so he had his own crosses to bear, but he was able to help Horatio on a bit. Come to that, by way of an interesting similarity between the two and a deft switch from one admiral to another, didn't Adama's wife have some good connections in the colonial fleet hierarchy? I seem to recall in the flashback scenes in "Scattered" that he made some mention of her being able to get him back into the fleet after he was booted out post-armistice. As for Adama's timeline not being consistent, it is possible that the 45 years service medal he received was for his time in the colonial fleet, period - including the time spent at the colonial equivalent of Starfleet Academy. Or is it normal practice for these things to refer back to dates of commission as an officer? [/QB][/QUOTE]
