Out of the Wall Locker

2 Generals, one Admiral, come out as gay

All fucking right! So much for the "Fags can't make it in the military" argument!.

"Heavens! Is that field artillery in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

Quiet, Frankie.

But what is a rear-admiral?

It's not what you hope, silly man.

Admirals come in four ranks.

Admiral (four stars)
Vice-Admiral (three stars)
Rear-Admiral (upper half) (two stars)
Rear-Admiral (lower half) (one star)

Stop laughing.

It's not the 'rear' part that always gets me; it's the image of the top or bottom half of an admiral wandering around by his lonesome.

Hey I was being serious.... But since you went there first... It's very difficult to find a good bottom guy in the military... They all think they need to be tops...

Now I gots to go find me a rear marine... I know what rank that is :)
