What's In a Name - Part III

Jason and I were discussing one of my favorite books last weekend, and this article in the Times reminded me of it:
“My wife thinks I’m nuts,” said Jason Captain, 32, of Fort Worth who left the Navy last November, walking away from $75,000-a-year lieutenant’s pay for flying military brass in and out of Guantánamo Bay.
If only he'd waited until his next promotion to retire from the service! I bet I'm the first person to ever make that joke.

Hmmm, had he stayed in wouldn't he have to be promoted to Lt. Cdr. then Cdr. before reaching Captain?

Perhaps Ex-PFC Wintergreen could help with that.
