Hello Col. Pickel,
Does your handle pertain to a vegitable or a weapon? I am not poking fun, but as a fellow pickel I would like to know. If you don't know this already the pike was a type of weapon (spear) haube a hat or helmet. Combine the two in German you have Pickelhaube. This was and still is one of my great collecting passions until the prices became prohibitive.

There is nothing wrong with being a grunt.
Btw, Sorry to interrupt the pickle meeting.

To actually answer your question, your rank depends on the number of posts you have made. Don't ask me what the breakdown is, because I can't remember, but officer candidate is the highest except for forum moderators.

O i see thanx. And pickelhaube my name comes from the cucumber variety, but your name sounds cooler
've seen pickelhaubes in people's collections and some of them or amazing what with all the detail and ornamentations some of them have. Plus they would make a handy headbutting weapon in close quarters
