			I realize this discussion is six months old, but as somebody in the military I want to say that "Duty Sergeant" does NOT sound like a rank so much as it sounds like a temporary posting. It sounds like a shift that one might be ordered to stand in addition to one's everyday tasks. Such shifts are assigned based on rank, and as such some shifts are posts with a measure of authority, but such authority is more of a positional authority than a ranking authority. For example:

			A barracks building may be run by an E-6, who is the highest authority regarding that building and to its residents in matters concering the barracks. S/he, herein the "BPO", works five days a week, typically hours comparable to "banking hours". Here, I believe, the hours are 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. During the rest of that time, the evenings, nights, and weekends, an E5 or E6 who is "on-duty" is assigned an eight-hour shift in the barracks lobby to represent the BPO and serve as the same authority for the duration of their assigned eight hours. At the end of the eight hours, another E5 or E6 on duty takes over, and so on until it is again time for the BPO to come to work.

			As such, I believe it is misleading to refer to this specifically as a rank, though admittedly we do not know if Transformer military society is at all comparable. --[[User:Sntint\|Sntint]] 18:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
