Major (US Army, USAF, USMC) and Lieutenant Commander (US Navy, US Coast Guard and other uniformed services that use the Navy ranking system) are absolutely equivalent ranks. They are NOT subordinate to each other by the virtue of the rank alone. Although, there is a subtle difference. While Lieutenant Commander is the Navy's first commissioned officer to be selected by the board, he/she is considered a Junior Officer due to the origin of the rank's name, as "Lieutenant, Commanding." This is demonstrated by the fact that Lieutenant Commanders do not wear the gold embellishment on their combination covers and visors, whereas Majors wear the appropriate covers of field grade officers (e.g. Lieutenant Colonel, Commander, Colonel, Navy Captain.)
