Link of the Week: U.S. Military Ranks

I was never in the military (duh), so I find military ranks and insignia somewhat confusing — and they come up in OutQ News stories pretty often, because of gays in the military.

Fortunately, there’s a handy website that not only shows all the ranks in the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, in order, with their insignia, with officer ranks color-coded… it also provides their pay grade and puts it all in a tabular format so you can compare the ranks across services.

It’s all on one convenient page of a website aimed at fans of Tom Clancy novels, movies, etc.: The Tom Clancy FAQ Military Ranks page.
