Excerpts from "The Chain of Command"

Commander (Lt. Col.) Leaps short buildings with a running start. Is almost as powerful as a small engine. Is slower than a speeding bullet. Walks on water in indoor pools. Talks with GOD if special form is provided.

Ensign (i.e. 2nd Lt.) Falls over doorstep when trying to enter a building. Says "Look at the choo choo" when a locomotive passes by. Not allowed elastic for his slingshot. Plays in puddles. Mumbles to himself.

Chief Petty Officer - Lifts tall buildings and walks under them. Kicks locomotives off tracks. Catches bullets in teeth and eats them. Freezes water with a single glance. He is GOD.

OK; brevet rank does not count. Stan LOL
