Promote from Captain to Major? Ahem. This is a fleet, my friend! A Promotion would make me a commodore at least!
For those who are interested in where my name comes from, there is an episode of Star Trek where another Captain busts Kirk's stones by referring to him as "Captain Dunsel" which really ticks hm off. It is explained that at Starfleet Academy, "Dunsel" is cadet slang for a useless part which serves no purpose. I always thought that was funny, how anal do you have to be to come up with a name for useless things which serve no purpose? That's Starfleet for you! I mean, come on, when ancient Rome made up cool new words like "decimate", they actually meant something (and let's face it, only a super cool society would need to invent a word that means "kill every tenth man"). |
