I have been missing in action for a while: busy with family matters that wouldn't let go. Before I left, I was a Lt. Commander. Now it shows that with my 98 posts I'm a Lt. (Sr Grade)! Did I really screw up and get bumped down in rank? I really do hope that rank inflation became a problem and everyone needs more postings to make rank and it wasn't anything I did.

No, it happened to everyone - I went from (I think) Rear Admiral to Captain of the List. I think the mods just wanted us to spend more "time in grade" as it were because having people who've made ~1500 posts being the same rank as people who've made ~5000 looked a little ridiculous. :lol:

Thank you roseandheather for lifting my spirits. I was afraid I stuck my foot in it somehow (I manage to do that on a regular basis so should be used to it by now) and wanted to avoid doing it again. I agree that you can only have so many Admirals of the Fleet in one navy.

I'm following in the esteemed foot steps of Kirk, only as a Vice Admiral I never made full Admiral yet.

Unless you're the SLN, where you have to be at least an officer of the list to be on the bridge. Since no one wants to be the SLN, some rank adjustments were made.
Cup of tea? Yes, please.
