Oh my God, what the fuck, none of you people told me the RAF used a COMPETELY DIFFERENT RANK SYSTEM THAN THE REST OF THE KNOWN WORLD.

Thank God I decided to Wikipedia this crap; I was looking for nicknames for the British Army for Edmund to use. Please don't let me have actually referred to Peter as "Lieutenant Pevensie" in official fic and not just in comments, seeing as how that position DOESN'T EXIST. When he was in Burma he was probably an Flying Officer, yes? But by Malaya he probably was a Flight Lieutenant.

Ha, but Peter would have one of these on his uniform for this.

Now, if you excuse me, I'll be over here SULKING.

IT IS OBVIOUSLY

"dust" was changed within approximately five seconds of this post going up. silly me assuming that the brits were like us and used the same rank system for the army, marines, and air force. APPARENTLY NOT. NO. THEY HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT.

OF COURSE THEY DID. Now, our air force, they didn't go trying to have special ranks JUST FOR THEM. *mocks, with love, of course*
