Military rank[edit]

The article List of the A-Team characters says that B.A. was a Master Sergeant. In this article his military rank is Sergeant First Class. What is the right one? --82.82.71.13 (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is he B.H. or B.A.? It's confusing --Skippan (talk) 16:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Attitude[edit]

In at least one early episode, if not the pilot, "B.A." is credited as standing for "Bad Attitude", unlike what the text of this article would lead the reader to believe. Of course, I'm only drawing on memory, but I recollect this as being from an early episode where one character is giving a run down on the milirary dossiers of the main characters, names, backgrounds, sepcialties, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.254.200.110 (talk) 19:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--Also, the article states that the "A" doesn't stand for Albert, and yet Albert is listed in the first line as part of his name. Citation needed?

Someone made up the "Albert" thing. I watched the entire series, including "Lease with an option to die", and I am 100% certain that no one ever mentioned "Albert" as one of B.A.'s first names. His only first name is Bosco, as mentioned in the pilot and "One more time". Like you wrote, in the pilot it is said that B.A. stands for Bad Attitude. 79.181.96.112 (talk) 06:14, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the rank being shown for B.A. Baracus on his page[edit]

Because at the end of the movie it has his rank listed as a Corporal and not a Spec. 6. Spec. 6 is a rank that hasn't been used by the United States Army since 1984. Following 1984 all Spec. Ranks were given equivalent ranks. A Spec. 6 after 1984 would be an E-6 or a Staff Sergeant.

You want to look up U.S. Army E-4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.224.171 (talk) 19:30, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The TV series aired and took place from 1983-1987. For the 2010 movie, B.A.'s rank was changed to Corporal, which is noted under B. A. Baracus#2010 film. --Boycool (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
