: I thought he was Master Chief Petty Officer John-117? Is this a real error,
: or am I just a nit-picking asshat? I don't know enough about military
: rankings and terminology, but it seems like a mistake to me, either that,
: or MC got busted down a few ranks since H4...
They wouldn't have referred to him as a Master Chief had he not retained his permanent rank once reunited with the Fleet, otherwise, they'd likely say "formerly a Master Chief, John-117...". Master Chief Petty Officer is the full title, so they aren't totally wrong using PO, but it's like calling a Lieutenant General a "Lieutenant." Not cool, bro. :P
