How is he a Captain?


If he "didn't go to Annapolis"?

Did they ever explain this?

reply

NROTC or OCS. There are many routes to becoming an officer.

There's more than one way to become an officer. Annapolis is not the only route to a commission.
One of our CNOs (Chief of Naval Operations and the highest military position in the entire Navy (everything higher is civilian), started his Navy career as an E1 Seaman Recruit.

Michael Boorda dropped out of High School and enlisted in the Navy as an E1 Seaman Recruit at the age of 17. An outstanding enlisted sailor, he was selected to attend OCS (Officer Candidate School) at newport Rhode Island .
Commissioned as an Ensign he rose through the ranks to Admiral and was the Chief of Naval Operations.

Thanks for the info.
Any relation to CSG Sailor from lMDB?

reply

CGSailor, not CSG, and yes.
At least I hope I am related to myself.

I was originally CG-23 Sailor on IMDb too when I first started but after a period of no internet access, and a forgotten password, they wanted to send my password reset to an email I no longer had. So I became CGSailor meaning I served on Cruisers (CGs) not that I was a Coast Guard Sailor which everyone kept mistaking.

I've lost access to a few accounts over the years as well. Makes me wonder how many of the millions of users sites claim are actually active.
