That’s right… Carl is a 2nd Lieutenant and Tremayne is a 1st. I may have messed up on the stripes from time to time. Feel free to let me know where, and I will fix it for the printed version! They’re based on Canadian air force ranks (but there’s no particular plot reason for that). The worksuits are supposed to have the rank denoted on the upper sleeve, just below the IP symbol, but I admit I’m not so good at doing those correctly.

…yeah. And at that point Carl knew what was going on, but not for whom yet.

Since Tara’s let the cat partially out of the bag, I will add that if you want to see my surprise, I’d recommend attending on Saturday. Right now, I’m not sure the surprise will be available on Sunday. However, if enough fans comment that they are coming – but on Sunday, I might be persuaded to change the day of the surprise

So, I’m guessing Carl Heraba is a Second Lieutenant and Tremayne a First Lieutenant, else he wouldn’t be addressing her as “ma’am”. Funny thing though, by the look of it she has two bars on her shoulder -one thin and one thick, the sign for a First Lieutenant in the Canadian Army (In Romania we use two thin bars for this rank and most nations use two stars) and we see on page 166 that so does Carl on his sleeve (on previous pages had absolutely no insignia rank whatsoever), making them equal rank. It would have been normal then to just address Tremayne by her name and rank after saluting or just her name if they already knew each other.
