[quote=@lydyn] Being [b]from[/b] the military, I can tell you this - this is like an Airmen's dorm room (equivalent to a private) ... so for him to have been used to less seems rather odd. It's also very odd that this is [u]all[/u] a [b]commander[/b] gets. Usually high ranking individuals get very lavish and open rooms and offices - so much so that you can actually get in trouble for leaving a mess if your maintenance, in their offices. The only way this would be acceptable for a high ranking officer is if the ship is literally [b]that[/b] crowded, haha. [/quote] Being in the U.S military myself (small world right), I can tell you that I know all this, and frist lietenants, what Daryn was when still in the military (or whatever the junior officer equivalent is the UFH) don't get quite so lavish loggings. Most Officers, in the U.S military at least, live in houses with their families. Having been a private before, I can tell you I'd never seen a dorm, and in fact spent all my time in a barracks with the rest of my battery (Artillery equivalent of a company). I'm taking liberties here because it's on a space ship that IS NOT, a military ship. I stated in the CS that all the Order ships are refitted civilian or church ships. [quote=@lydyn] Don't know how it works for the churchy people, but in the military, you don't salute indoors unless at an official function receiving an award. :p [/quote] ALso, the reason their saluting in doors (on the ship) is because they aren't in the military anymore or never were. Their being a little joky and offering the Commander a salute because they know he'll return it. No one is going to get chewed out or smoked because again, it isn't the military. They follow orders ansd they get the job done, that's their only mandate as a knightly order. Decorum and drill and ceremony don't matter to them. And last of all, thanks for this because I know it means that you actually read it an enjoyed it.
