What is your Rank in the PJ Army?

If this was the PJ Army, what would your rank be? Give an honest self assessment of your fanhood to include your love of Pearl Jam, song and band knowledge, show attendance, length of service in the ten club, number of life changing moments associated with PJ, and merchandise obsession.

*note - this is a light hearted attempt to determine your level of fanhood.
**note - who are we kidding? How else would we determine something like this?

    Amongst people here... not too high. Amongst people I know in the "real" world... 5 star General :smiley:

    What if I know a lot about Pearl Jam, but nothing about the Army or it's ranks? Plus I tend to disrespect authority, so I'd probably have been kicked out long ago for subordination. Can just I be an International Ally (Canada)?

    Good point. Many see me in PJ shirts, driving my PJ-plated car, always listening to PJ and think I am a super freak. Do not think they would truly understand what some folks give to their fandom for this band.

    No doubt. But no odder than grown men lining up for stickers. Embrace our oddness and join the PJ army.

    I would have put "General" 10 years ago. I go to a ton of shows but rarely if ever listen to Pearl Jam's music anymore so I can't put down General now.

    I might need to upgrade my ranking after checking out my purchase history from 10C. Holy shit! I think I've just been promoted to Gerneralisimo on 10C purchases alone.
