**********

In the United States uniformed services, captain is a Commissioned officers rank. Commissioned officers derive authority directly from a sovereign power and, as such, hold a commission charging them with the duties and responsibilities of a specific office or position. Commissioned officers are typically the only persons, in an armed forces environment, able to act as the commanding officer (according to the most technical definition of the word) of a military unit.

In keeping with the traditions of the militaries of most nations, the rank of Captain varies between the services, being a senior rank in the naval services (marines and navy) and a junior rank in the ground (army) and air forces.

For the naval rank, a captain is a senior officer of pay grade O-6 (the sixth officer rank), typically commanding seagoing vessels, major aviation commands and shore installations.

I’m going to guess that Turner was at least the 2nd in command if not the 1st of the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, which Ty belonged to. Right now in real life, a Lieutenant Colonel is command of it which is only 2 ranks higher than a Captain. So it’s not implausible.

Just rebloging to say: Steph…girl, you blow me away with the amount of though and time and love you put on these series. I wish I could kiss you for that. Seriously. You make me proud of being in this fandom! 

Very well done. I’m reblogging not only because this is good info, but to let you know that at the time of the scene you’re talking about, Ty was a Corporal…

Touch & Geaux Feels Bomb with blue balls NOS

Feels Bomb with blue balls NOS
seriously how does the DSM not have a specification for this shit

….. what does NOS mean in this context? Is it “no”? like in “oh noes!” :/

*clueless minion*

NOS = “Not Otherwise Specified”

It’s when the someone’s symptoms fall within the general disorder but does not meet the specific criteria for the subgroups within that category, or “umbrella.”

For example, under the “Feels Bomb with blue balls” diagnosis (hereafter designated FB/bb), there might be “Sherlock Disorder,” “Destiel Feels,” and “Sterek UST.”  Each of these will have a list of symptoms specific to that subgroup, and you must have a minimum number of symptoms on that list to be diagnosed.

If you have symptoms consistent with generalized FB/bb but do not meet the criteria for the subsets, you can be labeled FB/bb-NOS.  If the American Psychiatric Association decides that Touch & Geaux is a prevalent enough disorder with highly specific symptoms, they can edit future editions, such as the DSM-V, to include this subset.  Doing so would remove the “NOS” tag and allow for a more specialized diagnosis and treatment of affected minions.

Oh, so that’s what it means…
