No problem. I'd thought Lieutenant Commander, being equivalent to what I'm more familiar with, the Army/Air Force Lieutenant Colonel rank, was not necessarily a young person's rank unless there were a) battlefield promotions or b) significant peacetime below-the-zone promotions going on.
At risk of sounding stupid, was it merely his rank that suggested that, or was it something else I said? I'd be curious to know in case there's something in need of revision. |
Actually, the naval rank of Lt. Commander is equivalent to the Army/Air Force rank of Major. Lt. Colonel = Commander / Colonel = Captain.
As for what might have triggered that idea... nothing that I can recall specifically, it was just the impression I came away with.
