Date: 2016-06-29 09:37 pm (UTC)Carol holds rank in the... US Air Force, still? I believe in that context Commander refers to the commanding officer of a unit, and is technically an appointment, rather than a rank. Not sure whether it would be appropriate to refer to her as commander, rather than by her rank (Colonel, last I knew).

Date: 2016-06-29 09:41 pm (UTC)The answer is appreciated, and makes some sense. Thank you.

Date: 2016-06-30 03:10 am (UTC)Now as far as I remember Carol is either a Major or Lieutenant Colonel in the US Air Force. If she transferred to a service using naval ranks (which is a typical sci-fi trope regarding spacefaring armed forces), then her equivalent rank would be either Lieutenant Commander (Major) or Commander (Lieutenant Colonel). So addressing her as "Commander Danvers" isn't that far off.
In this context, though, I think it's used to denote her being commanding officer of SWORD, rather than her actually rank in the military.

I think, when I was reading this, in the back of my head I was connecting it to something where she takes somebody to task for addressing her with a lower and lower rank every time he speaks to her, a politician or diplomat who's trying to get her goat. I wondered if this was more of the same, or proper address.

Covered up the death of a teenaged recruit.
Had teenaged recruit's corpse dissected.
Had teenaged recruit cloned.
Sent one clone to live with teenaged recruit's father so he wouldn't realise his son's brains had been blown out.
Had the recruit who accidentally killed said teenager confined to a mental institution, with his agents making sure she'd never be released / get any sort of effective counselling for what happened.
Created another clone of aforementioned teenaged recruit who went on a violent rampage and killed several people.
And then when everything was over tried to sweep it all under the rug and take no responsibility for his fuck-ups whatsoever.
Why this man isn't in a small, dark confined space where he's chained to the floor is one of life's great mysteries.
