: The Spartan program was funded by the Navy and so it was probably deemed
: appropriate that the Spartans be given a Navy rank. Now as for why the CM
: (the proper abbreviation for Master Chief, I know, I'm active duty Navy)
: is not made and officer is probably because he is more of a tool to be
: used than the brains. CM is the highest enlisted rank although there are
: actually higher ones that are basically desk jockeys.
: The SeALs are a special program and their rules are a little different than
: the rest of the Navy. Officers and Enlisted can become SeALs but I do not
: know exactly how their chain of command works. To become a SeAL one must
: first have a rate or job one is qualified for like Boatswains mate to even
: qualify. Then you have to apply for the program and pass other physical
: qualifications. The Spartan program is a different in that it is an
: exclusive group that was chosen from childhood.
