And a psychiatrist. I heard mention from someone on another forum that all doctors in the Army start their ranks from Captain, though how true this is I don't know. Also consider that he'd been serving in the army for I think 12 years so if both of those are true he's not seen a massive amount of advancement. Not that I disagree that the army should be keeping better tabs on it's troops mental health but I don't think his rank has the same sort of relevance as if he were a commanding officer rather than a medically based individual. Saying that I've no real knowledge of the military ranking system and especially not the American one.

No you're correct...
You see majors all the time in the medical field, but in a line unit the majors would basically be the middleman between the company commanders and the battalion commander. They don't make the important decisions, but they're still in leadership positions... moreso than in the medical field where the relevance is basically just their current rank as a doctor.
