What's the Rank Structure of the Colonial Fleet on Battlestar Galactica?


The rank structure for the officers serving in the Colonial Fleet are as follows:

OFFICERS: Admiral, Commander, Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant, Lieutenant (junior grade), Ensign.

ENLISTED: Master Chief Petty Officer, Chief Petty Officer, Petty Officer (1st, 2nd Class), Specialist, Deck Hand, Recruit.

There are also Marines aboard Galactica which conform more closely to the traditional enlisted Marine ranks, with Sergeants, Sergeant-Majors, etc.

Unresolved is the question of whether the Marine officers would also adhere to the mixed rank structure.

Where does 'Frack' in BSG come from

Commander Adama has a shaving mirror in his cabin.

This mirror is made by IKEA, and is a model called "Fräck" (spelling according to IKEA Web site).

This word is similar to "frak" (spelling according to the subtitles with an "a" and without a "c"), which is the primary vulgarity in the Battlestar Galactica universe.
