It's not a Navy or Coast Guard Admiral - its a US Public Health Service Admiral.

Today's trivia facts courtesy of the freak show: There are EIGHT US uniformed services that have commissioned officers and a rank structure:
U.S. Army.
U.S. Marine Corps.
U.S. Navy.
U.S. Air Force.
U.S. Space Force.
U.S. Coast Guard.
U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps.


Listen carefully Otis: ADMIRAL ONLY EXISTS IN MARITIME SERVICES!!!! Get it? U.S Public Health Service doesn't have a damn thing to do with MARITIME SERVICES! And I served in the military for 25+ years so I know all about the uniformed services but my comment on ADMIRAL still stands!


You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
