I really want to engage Vince here and attack some of the stupid things he said, but I'm really curious to see how Burbank handles it so I'm going to just get some popcorn and wait.

Just out of curiosity Ror, what officer grade ("o" rank) is a submarine commander? I've alway been under the impression that they're about equivalent to an army colonel (O-6). I'm not really too familiar with the navy rank structure as I very rarely trained/worked with that branch of service.

My other question to this is: "If the letter was so powerful and commanding in it's authority, wouldn't one just explain the situation to said uncle's friend and ask for another letter of recommendation? Was it written on magic paper the first time which could no longer be replicated?"

Wait, wait, which letter are we talking about here, the uncle friend letter or the form letter? And which one got thrown out by the ethnic roomate and which one got lost because it wasn't that big a deal? Wasn't one of them generic? Which one is the obvious lie and which one is the plausible lie? AND HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN ABOUT VINTH GETTING AN OFFER TO BE IN A CHEM BIO UNIT, WHATEVER THAT IS? OR THAT HE STUDIED FOR THE PRIESTHOOD? HE CAN BACK ALL THAT SHIT UP HE DOESN'T SAY SHIT HE CAN'T BACK UP HE'S A BIG, BIG, MAN AND VERY MASCULINE IN THE PENIS TO BOOT! YOU ARE A PUSSY! YOUR RELATIVES BEG FOR SEX WITH VINTH! LOOK! LOOK! VINTH IS PUTTING HIS JIZZ ON YOUR RELATIVES!!

As early as O-5 actually -though this may have been changed as a result of Cmdr Waddle's actions- but in this instance, tenure and reputation is more important than the actual rank of the individual.

It works similiarly in the army. I've seen lieutenant colonels command a brigade when, generally, the position is held by a full colonel. I was just looking for a ballpark.
