And they need him for one more important mission dealing with … his sorts. They’d rather see him pack his reckless, order-ignoring ways into a small bag and leave their view as soon as possible.īut unfortunately (from a commanding officer’s perspective) his sort tends to get results, too. Of course, his attitude and varied choices haven’t necessarily earned him many friends among the higher ranks. And that’s where he feels most like himself. He held promotions and subsequent desk work at bay and kept his backside in a cockpit.
If, however, you ask Maverick himself, he’d probably admit that his lack of rank upgrades afforded him one special perk: It kept him flying. Now you might suggest that he’s been passed over for promotion because, well, he’s as obstinate and troublemaking as his callsign would suggest.Īnd yep, that would be as true as the sky is high. A highly decorated and honored captain, but a captain, nonetheless. After 30 years in service, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is still a captain in the U.S.
