For some reason, we cannot directly respond to menlo70!...... I think it is because
there are too many letters in the header.

Ensign is the Army/Air Force equivalent of a Lieutenant.  After graduation from
Annaplois (the Naval Academy) midshipmen are commissioned as Ensigns.  A
Lieutenant in the Navy is equivalent to a Captain in the Army or Air Force.  A
Navy Commander = an Army major and a Navy Captain = an Army Colonel.

Hope this clears it up.
