The image for Gunnery Sergeant appears to say Gunnery Seageant. Zeke pointed this out in the Sedulous Barracks, but OPOC1L1PSE said it's just a R that looks like an A, but the I think R in 'gunnery' looks slightly different. Is this a typo, or is it just the font used?

It's probably just the font. But it definitely does look like Seageant...

Well, let's take a look, shall we?

Computer. Load the original image.

Hmmm. It does APPEAR to be an "A". But appearances don't mean much in the ways of the truth.

Hmmmm. Still can't really tell.

I think I see something.

It looks like there may be something to the right of the letter in question...

Computer. Enhance.

Ah, yes. I see it now.

Computer. Highlight regions Alpha-6, Beta-3 and Beta-6.

As you can see, to the right of the "R" in "Gunnery" is a darker region that creates an indent into the right-most stroke of the letter. This provides a stark contrast to the right-most stroke of the definite "A" in "Sergeant". Now if we look at the letter in question, it is evident that there is a bit of a darker region on the right-most stroke. Although it isn't as defined as the darker region of the "R", it is definitely present. Therefore, on the grounds that if the letter were an "A" it would lack any dark region whatsoever, we can only assume that the letter in question is in fact an "R", thereby proving that "Sergeant" was in fact spelt correctly. Despite the fact that it may "look" like a "A", the truth of the matter is that sometimes fonts get just a bit distorted in certain phrases.

Thank you, Computer. Without you, none of this would have been possible :).

The "Y" in "Gunnery" makes the "R" look different to the "R" in Sergeant.
