Talk:Samuel C. Phillips

The very model of a modern Major General
When Phillips served as NASA Apollo Program Director, he was a Lieutenant general (three stars), so he must have risen to four-star General subsequent to this. Does anyone have info on when he received his promotions to Brigadier general (one star), Major general (two stars), etc.? JustinTime55 (talk) 17:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the support, guys. (Surely I'm not the only one who cares about this article, am I?) I've discovered Phillips signed the Atwood memo as Major General; Wilford lists him as Lieutennant General in context with Apollo 10, which would have been close to the time he left NASA. (The naming is counter-intuitive; even though a Major outranks a Lieutenant, the Lieutenant General (***) outranks the Major General.) JustinTime55 (talk) 20:40, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * B class. I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical. From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical. Djmaschek (talk) 02:32, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
