And I was going on memory that the book had him as an officer. Of course my copy is in storage and I can't look.
On the other hand that would make sense, as he was a little older and had four kids, and the captain treated him almost as a consultant, asking his opinion and such. Now I have to give a PO back that Watch rating.
