Discuss US Rank slides: just "allyness" for Senior British Army Officers? in Military Clothing & Boots on The Army Rumour Service; That's no different to our Admirals wearing Army generals rank in certain circumstances at Main Building.
I think everyone should really go towards the rather smart gold bar on the shoulders system... all the cool ...

Sir Walter Raleigh declared in the early 17th century that "whoever commands the sea, commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself." This principle is as true today as when uttered, and its effect will continue as long as ships traverse the seas."

You are suggesting an emulation of the Canadian system... there lies madness.
Besides you have just said RN already copy the Army system, and the RM use the Army system... so you should just change to our system.

In Afghanistan it's currently pretty tricky sometimes to tell RN from RAF. On MTP, a lot of RAF are wearing 'solid' bars, and two-thick-and-a-thin-one-in-the-middle can mean a Lr Cdr RN or a Sqn Ldr. Whenthe RN have the curly bit on it's OK, but otherwise they are identical.

Surely the Navy should always have a 'curly bit' on?
They are the same rank anyway...
Maybe we should have roman numberals... ie A Lt Cdr, Maj or Sqn Ldr could have a 'III' a 3 star general could have a 'VIII'.

Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."
