| An [[officer]] is one who has a position of authority in a hierarchical organization, especially in military, police or government organizations.<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/officer Wiktionary definition]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In the context of {{trmn}} (TRMN), and the [[Honorverse]] military [[Branch|services]] which it simulates, the word officer most commonly refers to commissioned officers, but can also encompass Warrant Officers. Although there are non-commissioned officers, "officer" usually is meant to differentiate from enlisted personnel. "Officers and enlisted" would be a term encompassing all personnel in the military.
| |
| | |
| ==Commissioned Officers==
| |
| Commissioned ranks include paygrades [[O-1]] up through [[Flag Officer|flag ranks]], the highest uniformed ranks of the military:
| |
| | |
| {| class = "wikitable sortable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Code !! Naval !! Army & Marines
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-1]] ||[[Ensign]] (ENS)|| [[2nd Lieutenant]] (2LT)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-2]] ||[[Lieutenant, junior grade]] (LTJG)|| [[1st Lieutenant]] (1LT)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-3]] ||[[Lieutenant, senior grade]] (LTSG)|| [[Captain]] (CPT)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-4]] ||[[Lieutenant Commander]] (LCDR)|| [[Major]] (MAJ)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-5]] ||[[Commander]] (CDR)|| [[Lieutenant Colonel]] (LTCOL)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[O-6]] ||[[Captain]]<ref>The [[RMN]] divides O-6 into [[O-6A]]: Captain, junior grade (CAPTJG), and [[O-6B]]: Captain, senior grade (CAPTSG). Senior Grade is also called "Captain of the List," because once a captain "makes the List," they are guaranteed promotion to Flag Rank if they survive until they are at the top of the seniority. This is analogous to "Post Captain" in Britain's Royal Navy of the 18th Century.</ref> (CAPTJG), (CAPTSG) || [[Colonel]] (COL)

| In the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], a commissioned officer usually has studied at [[Saganami Island Naval Academy]] as a [[midshipman]] and after graduation and training cruise receives a commission from the [[Elizabeth III|sovereign]] as an [[Ensign]] in the navy.
| |
| | |
| An officer who previously served as an [[Enlisted ranks|enlisted]] [[spacer]] before receiving a commission is known colloquially as a "Mustang." In TRMN, members automatically start at [[E-1]] upon signing up for the organization, so almost everyone is a mustang in the club.
| |
| | |
| In [[Honorverse]] [[canon]], an enlisted spacer who is awarded the [[Osterman Cross]] is offered a commission as [[Ensign]].
| |
| | |
| ==Warrant Officer==
| |
| Officer can also refer to warrant rank. Warrant officers are usually long serving enlisted personnel who are offered a Warrant due to their expertise.
| |
| | |
| The warrant ranks in the Manticoran military are:
| |
|
| |
| {| class = "wikitable sortable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Code !! Rank Title
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[W-1]] ||[[Warrant Officer 2nd Class]] (WO2)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[W-2]] ||[[Warrant Officer 1st Class]] (WO1)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[W-3]] ||[[Chief Warrant Officer]] (CWO)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[W-4]] ||[[Senior Chief Warrant Officer]] (SCWO)
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[W-5]] ||[[Master Chief Warrant Officer]] (MCWO)
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==Other uses of the word officer==
| |
| Members in the highest enlisted grades are referred to as [[non-commissioned officer]]s (NCOs).
| |
| | |
| [[Royal Manticoran Merchant Marine]] crews are led by the Ship's Master, assisted by a First Officer, and depending on the ship and crew size, a Second Officer, Third Officer, etc.
