>watch SG1 for years
>always thought it was great
>end up joining the AF
>realize that all of the characters in the show were officers
>enlisted never got to go through the star gate
Fantasy shattered. Officers would never put themselves in harms way.
I'd like to think that he found Cooper's soul via the Stargate.
YEEE HAAAW!

you will never get a Daedalus class starship named after you
>>66630183
Completely relate even though army. Officers aren't operators
>>66630183
Can't only officers be pilots? Maybe they are using the same logic with the Stargate.
Also, there are marines as backup squads throughout the series. Do they at least have realistic ranks going through the stargate?

>At the Air Force Association's 57th Annual Air Force Anniversary Dinner in Washington, D.C., on September 14, 2004, then-Air Force Chief-of-Staff, General John P. Jumper,[15] presented Anderson with an award because of his role as star and executive producer of Stargate SG-1, a series which portrayed the Air Force in a positive light from its premiere.[16] Anderson was also made an honorary Air Force brigadier general.[17]

It's like when you are enlisted into the SAS you could be a 3 star general, but you are a private as soon as you get in the SAS.
You have a go.
One of the actual generals on the show.
Guy in the center was a real general as well.

>>66633361
both were air force chiefs of staff

He might have been typecast but he was really good at playing those stern but trusted General types wasn't he?

Why do American 'medals' look like a huge batch of multicolored fruit salad?
Wouldn't it look smarter to not have to wear all those color bars and only limit yourself to one or two really big proper medals?
>>66633361
>that picture title
>General JJ
It's like someone at Marvel created his name.
>>66633479
I think every nation use ribbons in place of medal on their uniform. Not sure if Americans get awarded many medals or have to wear them all.
>>66630463
Is that where he talked to Scully after his death too?
>>66633419
Guy had a PhD in real life too.
>>66633294
I think Stargate actually let anyone they feel like they have a skill in. Air Force, marines, officers, NCOs, privates, cilivian experts, alien allies.
>>66633479
those are service ribbons, not medals
>>66634803
To show which campaigns they've been on?
Getting a medal for going above and beyond is one thing but just saying 'I was there' with a bit of embroidery is just bragging isn't it?
>>66635074
>bragging
That's one of the things military type people do the most.
>>66635074
You think that's bad....
>>66635130
Sorry, folks. Motherland can't afford any armour vests this year, but we've already minted plenty of medals.
>>66635130
It seems strange that despite vastly differing cultures around the world, every single nation's army as the same type of uniform and rank structure.
>>66635217
becuase colonialism and westernization of native militaries
>>66635130
That's just horrible.
Next they'll have to tattoo their service record on their body.
>>66633493
as most of the american names
