Hi to evryone!
I recieved few messages saying that the rank of lieutenant is high in USA. Not in Russia!!! Here in Russia lieutenant is rather low level. But I know this rank is quite high in USA. I would really APRECIATE if you explain me your system of ranks. I am too ignorant in this field. For example: In Russia is the following (Sorry for spelling, I don't have a dictionary with me):
1. Line officer ( I mean the begginer)
2. Junior sergeant
3. Sergant
4. --? (I don't know this word in English)
5. Junior liutenant
6. Leutenant
7. Senior lieutenant
8. Captain
9. Major
10. Sub colonel
11. Colonel
12. General
Usually people who graduate law degree at University and right after join the police get the rank of lieutenant. Usually we become investigators at the age of 20 y.o. studying the investigation process being civilian students or in special police colleage. If a police officer in Russia graduates law degree he get automaticaly a lieutenant skipping other lower ranks. So, my rank is rather modest here. I have never been a sergeant. After graduation of civil faculty of law and joining the police I became a lieutenant at once. The rank of major is considered to be high here. We have police Academies. They last from 6 month to 2 years but in this case your carreer will start from the begin.
