A. Fine.
Q. No, I mean, I've heard there are all kinds of weird titles that people have. Like Brigadier General.
A. That's ridiculous. While it's true that we did employ the use of some Army ranks for the first eight years of camp, and that as recently as last year we did have a few Brigadier Generals, it's our intention for the next eight years to utilize the U.S. Navy "rating" system (technically, they don't have ranks). We have one fully commissioned Lieutenant Commander this year, and we are interviewing for a second, possibly a third. Although the rank/rate of Lieutenant is used (as an aide or sidekick), it is not formally recognized. Note, too, that this is not classically a militaristic organization, as we use some tribal, athletic, civilian and barnyard titles, such as Chief, Coach, Team Leader, Manager, Mother Hen and Duckfoot. Campers are simply known as Campers.

I'll assume we're sticking with tradition and requiring officers to provide their own rating insignia? :-)
Also, given that Run Camp has occasionally bestowed decorations, is there a standard chart of decoration precedence?
