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. Joe
