[Data-modeling] Military Unit

[Tom Morris]

I should have scrolled further down the Wikipedia page since it
clearly states that her rank was Rear Admiral.

The way the schema for postings is set up now doesn't match up with
the services I'm familiar with.  It's looking for a Military Post as
the target of a posting, but in practice it's a "billet" which could
be on a Military Post or someplace else entirely.  I bet filling in
her billet there will end up getting "Director" co-typed as a
"Military Post."

The woman  in the example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Marie_Engel was simultaneously
posted to two separate billets:
 - Director of the Navy Nurse Corps
 - deputy commander for personnel management in the Health Sciences,
Education and Training Command

Those are mostly called "ratings" in the services I'm familiar with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Navy_ratings
although some services might call them billets.
