Lieutenant Colonel James "Jimmy" Doolittle, well almost a colonel. |
| Rakkasan | 03 Feb 2019 6:28 a.m. PST |
Doolittle's promotion history is unusual. He was never actually a colonel. He was promoted from lieutenant colonel to brigadier general following the Tokyo Raid. |
| Legion 4 | 03 Feb 2019 7:21 a.m. PST |
A very well deserved promotion, even if it skipped a rank. |

Our very own Colonel Campbell of course.
Buck Surdu is also a Colonel
