Can a juinor ranking officer in a senior appointment give an order to a senior officer in rank?

Traditionally, a Junior Officer acting in a higher rank, may only give orders to those of his acting rank or lower. For example: A Lieutenant, Royal Navy, with an acting rank of Lieutenant Commander, cannot give an order to a Commander - unless the junior officer is acting by Warrant and is the designated Captain of a ship. However, any officer in charge of a vessel, may make a request (not an order) to a Senior Officer. The exception is Whale Island, where Gunnery Officers are trained; or other Command Training. While actually carrying out training, Senior Officers are obliged to accept the orders of a junior officer or rating.


What does a Gunnery Sergeant do?

A Gunnery Sergeant has multiple jobs. One is, if their base is under attack, to arm all the weapons for soldiers to use. He also trains soldiers at a camp and at the shooting ranges on accuracy, how to reload, etc., In the beginning of Halo 2, a Master Gunnery Sergeant is in an armory teaching the Master Chief (player) on how his shields work. Then, laster, you see him get killed by some Covenant Elites. Then, if you're low on ammo, you can re-stock on ammo to continue.

What is the point of skill in Halo 3?

Officer ranks require you to have a certain XP and highest skill level. For example, to get to the first officer rank, Lieutenant, you need 70 XP and a highest skill of 10. Without the 10 skill, you'd still be a Gunnery Sergeant. To be a 5-star General, you need 5000 XP and a highest skill of 50. If you had 5000 XP, but a highest skill lower than 10, you'd still be a Gunnery Sergeant.
