He's an officer, which is high up compared to the enlisted grades, but as officers go, he's pretty low down on the totem pole. A Lieutenant JG is the equivalent of a First Lieutenant in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. A Lieutenant in the Navy is the equivalent of a Captain everywhere else. That's why a Lieutenant can command a ship.
