Well...after much research I have discovered (as Bev has alluded to) that you have what are called 'Rank' as in the rank of General, and then there are 'grades' of rank as in Major General and Lieutenant General...this may coincide with how the military personnel is paid as there are 2 factors that determine a soldiers income...rank is one and time in service being the other...
...on a different but similar note, the Navy has a rank of 'Ensign'...an 'Ensign' is an Officer who went through the ranks as an NCO (Non Commisioned Officer ie. Private, Corporal and Sergeant) then at some point completed the requirements to become an Officer as opposed to a person who went to college first THEN joined the military as as Officer from the get go, and given the commission of Lieutenant... |

What a busy day! It's my son Zakk's 4th birthday and we've had a blast of a day but feck me, I'm drained. We got him some cool gifts, he got a new bicycle which he adores and a whole new decore setup for his bedroom. He was pleased as punch. He also got a spiderman suit and spent the day in it... being Africa and mid-summer, I have no idea how he kept it on all day but he did lol. We went to the aquarium so that he could check out all the penguins, he loves penguins and they had a great time exploring the wonders of the marine world.. It's just about 9pm now and I am buggered!
I hope that everyone has had as wonderful a day as I have had
Peace and love
