This has been bugging me...
What does the first "s" stand for? Staff Sargeant Rock 'n Roll? Every time I see it, I think of it as a misprint. I really think Hasbro messed up with this name. Anyone seeing it in the store would more then likely think it was a mess-up in printing. Now someone with military knowledge would probably know what it means, but the average person?? Does it stand for Staff Sargeant?

Indeed. Not sure about the other branches. But USMC is typically as follows:
Pvt. = Private PFC = Private First Class LCpl. = Lance Corporal Cpl. = Corporal Sgt. = Sergeant SSgt. = Staff Sergeant GSgt. = Gunnery Sergeant MSgt. = Master Sergeant |

SSgt= Staff Sergeant= E-6.
One of the only ones that Hasbro got right. Classic example, Sergeant Flash is an E-4, which translates to Spec. 4 or Corporal, E-5 is actually the Sergeant rank. Also, Lt. Torpedo's filecard lists him as a CWO, which is Warrant Officer. Those are two screw-ups that I know off of the top of my head. Hasbro, if you are going to list ranks, please research them first!!!! |

I figured it was Staff Sargeant, but man does it look weird on the name stand. Everytime I see it, makes me think it's a mistake..

I remember reading that flint got a high rank but turned down the jobs and stayed as a CWO because he felt he could help the best there.

Warrant Officer is somebody that has gone through an enlisted commisioning program usually. That means that he/she was first enlisted and then applied to the ECP. Usually they are required to be at least E-5 before applying. That's why I want to know how Duke outranks Flint. Duke still has to call Flint "Sir", but Flint can call Duke whatever he wants. And as somebody that has served, I can tell you if a Sergeant started to order around a Warrant Officer or Officer, there would be some choice words.
