I left the US Army as a Staff Sergeant (E-6) in 1996. Fifteen years later I was ordained as a Presbyterian minister and felt called to serve as a chaplain. I was too old to go back into the US army so I joined the British Army and was directly comissioned Captain.
So am I SSG Dale London, or Capt Dale London?

You should show the rank you attained in the US military, as shown on your ERB or DD 214. As a community, RP is focused on service members and veterans who have served in the US military. Thus, we do not allow members to display ranks attained in foreign militaries, State Guards, militias, or any other non-federal entities.

This is a tough one. However, for my personal view, i would use the rank i had in the British Army. It is the most recent, and rank on this forum is basically irrelevant, it is a way for some people to brag, and for some people a chance to try and degrade or abuse other members.
I have had several people get perturbed at my position, and try to use my rank as an ad hominem attack to discredit my position.
I just throw it back at them.
