Should we put this in the template (perhaps with a 'not an actual rank' footnote), partly to fill the gap and partly to dissuade people from editing the template and adding the rank in, as I nearly did before doing a little research. It doesn't exactly help that the Royal Navy has a page[1] showing Field Marshal as one of the ranks of the Royal Marines. -Scott Wilson18:24, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Almost without exception, the RAF abbreviate Officer Cadet to OC. There is also an equivalent rank for graduates, Student Officer (abbreviated as SO). I propose that the Student Officer entry be amended toOC -SO.88.105.139.2700:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is not obvious to me which column "Lt" is under. Can anyone make the table clearer?GrahamBould10:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of thinking about addingCaptain General to the template should'nt we think about this rankCommandant General Royal Marines as it doesnt seem to be ceremonial but acording to the article "professional head of the Royal Marines" and is "responsible for advising the First Sea Lord" but i dont fully understand it as it seems that its more a title and responsability --Climax-Void

Having been a Mid RN myself, I had never heard of OF(D) until looking on wikipedia. Midshipmen have been commissioned since 2007/08 on passing fleet board/ passing out of Dartmouth. Midshipman IS an OF1 rank and due to the above change in commission status is no longer junior to 2Lt or Pilot Officer. --Noofworm (talk)00:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
