Talk:Crewman

I don't know if it actually mentions any of the three examples as being Crewmen, but I would say that it may be correct because I am too lazy to reread all of that chapter of Halo: The Flood. Also, don't forget: Letter - RE:UNSC Ranking System.--Rot 2000 9.12.06

So these are guesses that those three UNSC are in fact, crewman? -- Yamanba 04:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Found it. Halo: The Flood page 21."He said, 'On the double, crewman,' and the rating gave the only reply he could." Not absolute solid proof, but good enough for me.--Rot 07:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Pure speculation on my part, but seeing as the United States Navy rank is "Seaman" (as well as the subordinate ranks of Seaman Apprentice and Seaman Recruit), it makes sense that the rank has been renamed to crewman in the UNSC, as Naval personnel now work on spaceships as opposed to sea-fairing vessels.
